So, please look at the
camera, but once it passes you,

if you could exit,
sir, is the note. Okay.

Okay, let's send the camera to one.

Can you hear me, sir?

Yes.

Can you talk for a minute?

About what?

Anything. We just need a sound check.

Check, check. One,
two, three, four. Check.

Good. It'll just be a minute.

You'll hear the feed
from our main studio,

and Ted will introduce you.

Just speak to the lens please.

Uh, that's right.

Thank you. Thank you.

Uh, ex-excuse me.

Now, these are the same lawyers

offering their services free of charge.

Uh, please, let me,
let me finish, ma'am.

My apologies.

I-I can't see you.

Well, I'm not involved
in the Peepercase,

but I think it was a mistake

for the defense attorney
to concede the point.

Thank you, sir.

That's it?

Yes. I'll be in in a sec to unhook you.

Uh, excuse me.

- What?
- The show last night.

- You were good.
- Thank you.

- Uh, Diane, Julius?
- In your office.

And there's a visitor here for you.

- I put him in the conference room.
- Who?

I don't know. Dale somebody.

Morning.

Well, Mr. Jeffrey Toobin, how did it go?

Fast.

So, um, who's in the conference room?

Dale Kuzma,

editor of Peeper News.

Damn.

I talked about Peeper last night.

He's probably pissed off.

The next time they
ask me to be a pundit,

tell me no.

Uh, wait, wait, wait.
We've got to discuss Lucca.

We can't ask her if she's
pregnant. It's illegal.

And Lucca's not saying anything.

No, but she has the
Marconi case in two months,

so if we're gonna make a
change, we have to make it now.

That's why she's not saying anything.

She don't want to get
bumped to second chair

biggest case of the year.

Okay. I'll talk to her friend, Maia.

She might know what delivery
date we're looking at.

Um...

So, about my case

and what you said.

Look, I shouldn't have said anything.

And that's between you and your lawyer.

I fired my lawyer. I want you.

Excuse me?

I want you as my new lawyer.

What do you need from me?

Mr. Kuzma, you're in
the middle of trial.

No. We just finished voir dire.

Trials take months of preparation.

My comments, my
criticisms of your lawyer,

completely uncalled for.

But... was it true?

Well...

there are probably some
unknowns I'm not aware of.

- What do you want, a retainer or something?
- Mr. Kuzma,

the judge will never
agree to a change in lawyer

this late in the process.

Yeah, he will. He
hates my current lawyer.

Come on, this is the forces of evil

against the forces of good.

Join the good.

All right.

What's wrong?

There's another visitor here for you.

Do people not make appointments anymore?

- Who is it?
- Franz Mendelssohn?

Franz Mendelssohn is here?

In reception. Who is he?

Oh, my God, he wants to buy us out.

No, he already bought
Stanley and Gledhill.

So? That's what he does.
He gobbles up smaller firms.

- Did he say what he wanted?
- No.

- Want me to ask?
- No.

Because I said no.

You want me to take it to my client?

Add another zero.

I have to go.

Mr. Boseman, hello.

- Franz Mendelssohn.
- Good to meet you.

We've never met? Chicago,
and we've never met?

I believe we, um, move
in different circles.

We'll, we're all in the same circle now.

And, Diane Lockhart, I know you.

Franz, hello. It's nice
to see you looking so well.

No, not so well. Strange times.

And, Julius Cain, yes?

That's right. Hello.

Well, I apologize for not
making an appointment...

- Oh, not at all.
- Not a problem.

But I saw your clip
online today, Adrian,

and I said this is
someone I need with us.

My clip? I didn't know I had a clip.

And 300,000 likes.

- Whoa.
- Do you have a moment?

- Uh, please, yeah.
- Thank you.

So, let me tell you why I'm here.

- Franz, please, sit, sit.
- No, it's all right.

I-I like pacing.

- So do I.
- Well, then,

let's circle each other

like caged beasts.

Now, I'm sure you saw that,

last week, Wilk Hobson
committed suicide.

- Yes. Terrible.
- But did you know

that his partners don't agree
with the police assessment?

They have reason to believe

that it's one of these
copycat murders...

A disgruntled client
killing another attorney.

Now, the big six firms have been meeting

over the last few weeks

to discuss how to address this problem.

Roger Hill, hit by a van.

Dan Oxenbold, shot in the chest.

And now Wilk Hobson.

We want you to attend our next meeting.

But we're not one of the big six.

True. But, Adrian, we saw
you on cable news last night,

and we were impressed.

We have agreed to invite
one more firm... yours.

Uh, what are these meetings about?

An existential threat to our livelihoods

and our lives.

Chicago lawyers are being killed,

and the authorities are too busy
making lawyer jokes to help us.

No one sympathizes,

so it's up to us to do for ourselves.

Whoa.

Respect.

Big-time.

- Whoa!
- One in seven firms.

What did you say last night on the news?

I do not know.

I... I thought it was stupid.

You were good. You should take a look.

Lawyers have had this
coming for a long time.

And if they're looking over
their shoulders now, I...

- Maybe that's a good thing.
- Uh, excuse me.

Now, these are the same lawyers

offering their services free of charge?

- Well, you look good.
- It's the big head.

Big heads play well on TV.

Please let me finish, ma'am.

Excuse me, I'm not a "ma'am."

My apologies.

I can't see you.

Okay, 30 seconds.

The recent lawsuit of PeeperNews.com...

Adrian, do you have a take
on their recent legal moves?

Well, I'm not involved
in the Peeper Newscase,

but I do think it was a mistake

for the defense attorney
to concede the point.

Have they asked you to come back on?

This week. I told them no.

Holding to the First Amendment.

I mean, it's not just the First...

Thank you very much, Mr. Boseman.

Maybe you should reconsider.

You know what Gore Vidal said.Mm-mm.

Never pass up a chance to have
sex or appear on television.

Okay.

Lawyers have had this coming
for a long time. And...

No workstations available?

Uh...

I got here too late.

Quick question.

Has Lucca talked to you?

About?

About her... condition.

Uh, no.

- Do you think she will?
- I...

I think she wants to be
thought of as a lawyer,

and not an expectant mother.

Okay.

When's the next pretrial
motion in the Marconi case?

Day after tomorrow.

Okay. You handle the motion.

Uh, Mr. Cain?

Lucca is first chair.

Yes, but not for this motion.

- You take it.
- Why?

Uh, because I'm a partner,
and you're an associate,

and I want you to take it.

Is this about Lucca's condition?

No. It's about you having a chance

to be first chair.

Does Lucca know?

No.

Go ahead and tell her.

- Still no desk?
- Uh, no. I don't mind.

I like the corner.

You are different since your ride-along.

No, I am the same. Exactly the same.

So, I'm hoping we can use the
DOJ's problems against them

in this Marconi continuance.

Been looking at their workload,

and they have asked for continuances

on 70% of their active cases...

Julius just asked me

to argue the next motion.

What?

Julius told me to argue
the next Marconi motion.

- Why?
- He didn't say.

But he was talking
about... your condition.

Oh, fuck.

They just want to know if
this is gonna be something...

Do you know what? It's my business.

It is. You're right.
It is your business.

But you haven't even told
me, and I'm your friend.

I'm pregnant. I'm having a baby.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

Now, part of it was
just having those words

come out of my mouth.

It feels weird.

Well, you know what,
you spoke them well.

Hmm.

Here's the other worry.

I'm on the partner track.

For the first time in my
career, I have some traction.

And now I'm worried they'll use...

this to penalize me.

They can't. Legally.

Well, look, it's gonna be
easier for them to hold you back

if you don't tell them.

Then they can just say
it's all about performance.

You should get your
pregnancy on the record.

That's a good point.

Then tell them.

And here we are, again.

Ms. Lutz.

How are you?

Every time a new lawyer
is killed, I think of you.

And every time a new killer is arrested,

I think about you.

So much in common. Ready to spar?

All rise. Hear ye, hear ye.

This branch of the Circuit
Court of Cook County

is now in session,
pursuant to adjournment.

The Honorable...

Welcome, ladies and
gentlemen of the jury.

Please.

Now, let me prepare you for
what you're about to see.

Trials are nothing like
what is shown on television.

Justice is slow.

Nothing is ever wrapped
up in 60 minutes here.

Now, it's fine to enjoy

TV lawyers, but real-life lawyers

hardly even go to court.

In fact, 90% of a
case is just paperwork.

90%...

Hello.

Who are you?

Mr. Adrian Boseman.

And Ms. Diane Lockhart.

The defense moves for
substitution of counsel.

Sidebar, please.

This is an example of something

you may have seen on television,

where the lawyers request
something from the judge.

But take my word, it's
not as interesting as TV.

Your Honor,

the defendant wants to
disrupt the proceedings

even before they've begun.

Your Honor, Mr. Kuzma has asked that

we replace his earlier counsel.

Now, the defendant should be allowed...

He was allowed his
representation of choice.

He was. Now he's changed his mind.

The defendant can choose his lawyers,

but I will not allow this

to turn into some
game of musical chairs.

- Is that understood?
- It is, Your Honor.

Understood, Your Honor.
We move for a continuance.

Of course you do.

Given that we've just legally begun

representing Mr. Kuzma,

preparing properly for trial

requires that we have at least...

Plaintiff objects.
The jury's been seated.

The trial's in progress.

Sustained.

How is it

that so many lawyers are being killed,

and yet my courtroom
is still full of them?

The fire took everything.

The piano my mother left for me.

- My photo albums.
- And this was your house,

Mrs. Honeycutt?

Yes.

And this is your house afterwards?

Let the record reflect

that Mrs. Honeycutt is
responding emotionally

in the affirmative.

Now, I'm sorry, Mrs. Honeycutt.
Just one more question.

Is this your dog?

- Oh, God.
- Yes.

And he died in the fire, didn't he?

Yes.

And who do you blame for this fire?

Objection, Your Honor. Inflammatory.

Calls for a conclusion.

Well, the conclusion is

the point of this trial, isn't it?

I will, however, caution the jury.

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury,

a trial is never as
dramatic as it is on TV.

We don't wrap things
up here in 60 minutes.

So, just because a witness
points towards a defendant

doesn't make it true.

Please keep that in mind.

Mrs. Honeycutt, you may continue.

I blame him

and his website.

But he didn't light the match?

No, but he published our home address,

and he said we deserved
everything we got.

That's the match.

Thank you. I'm so sorry, Mrs. Honeycutt.

What was your dog's name?

Puffy.

Did you ever find Puffy?

No.

She's trying to provoke you.

- Don't take the bait.
- Mm-hmm.

Mrs. Honeycutt,

I'm really sorry for your loss.

Who is that sitting next
to Ms. Amber Wood Lutz?

That's my son, Dennis.

And your son Dennis lives
with you, isn't that right?

For the moment, yes.

And he lived with you in
the house that was destroyed?

He's been helping me since
I had my hip replaced.

And your son Dennis

is a neo-Nazi.

- Is that correct?
- Objection! Inflammatory!

The lady can say no if
it's not true, Your Honor.

Even the question implies
a rationale for this fire.

No, the question implies a
rationale for why my client

- printed these folks' address.
- Your Honor.

And that is all he is being sued for.

Apologies for the fireworks.

Occasionally things can get
a little out of hand here.

Overruled.

You may answer.

My son is a good boy.

He works hard, and-and he reads a lot.

And he is not a Nazi, neo or otherwise.

But wasn't he at the Oak Woods protest

at the Confederate
soldier statue, ma'am?

Yes.

But as a history buff.

- Is this Dennis's photo, Mrs. Honeycutt?
- Yes.

But he's yelling for everyone to stop.

Mrs. Honeycutt.

Is this really the face of someone

yelling to tell everyone to stop?

$300,000.

You didn't see what
happened in that courtroom?

The jury loved her.

Yes, but they hate her son.

$300,000.

That's enough to rebuild her home.

Nope. $10.5 million.

Pain and suffering.

Jesus, it's everybody.

Everyone who never hired me.

Oh, look. Elvis White.

Mm. And Roger Woodruff.

He defeated me twice in court.

This is like the
beginning of that nightmare

where I realize I'm naked.

Oh, excuse me. Excuse me.

- Adrian.
- Franz.

- Franz, hello.
- Diane.

- Thank you for coming.
- Thank you.

We're all here. Let's get started.

- Uh, no, thank you.
- Thank you.

Mm-hmm, Ms. Wood Lutz.

Looks like they're
pretending to be diverse.

We're about to see
why jackals never meet.

- Synced and corrected by VitoSilans -
-- www.Addic7ed.com --

Welcome, all.

I'm glad we're all
alive and kicking still.

First order of business:

we're asking everyone
to contribute $20,000

to the fund for the
widows of our fallen peers.

Let's not be stingy here.

I think we can all spare $40,000.

None of us are struggling.

Well, let your conscience
guide your checkbook.

The sad fact is we're having
to do for ourselves nowadays.

In a world without guardrails,
we are the despised.

And not to be too melodramatic,
we are also being hunted.

"Not to be too melodramatic."

What do you call it?
Three Chicago lawyers dead.

By clients.

While the authorities make jokes.

- Sometimes justifiably.
- No.

What?

What is the big hubbub
about? Wait a minute.

Wait a minute, okay? Who has handed over

their client list to the police?

Come on.

Raise your hands. Huh? No one.

That's beside the point.
Attorney-client privilege

- prevents us...
- That's bullcrap.

If we wanted to, we
could have a prosecutor

subpoena those records in five minutes.

- The difficulty is...
- Because nobody wants to.

Wait. Wait.

Difficulty is clients will leave us.

If they know that we
are handing their names

- over to the police...
- That's true.

Even the innocent ones.

No. No. No. The problem is us.

We're worried we'll
poach from each other.

It's not about clients leaving.

It's about us stealing.

Then what's the answer?

The police are throwing this back at us,

saying it's our problem.

Remind them that we're not
some South Side squatters.

Remind them of our tax base.

Talk to Rahm. Lay it out for him.

He knows where his money comes from.

- That's right.
- Rahm won't touch this.

His deputy might.

- Warren Hesseman.
- That's right.

Warren just hinted that
he was running in 2019.

He's gonna be looking
for trial lawyer money.

He's also friends with the police.

- Problem solved.
- There you go.

Good thought, Adrian.

Five minutes to air.

Five minutes to air.

So, you're back.

- Yeah.
- That's good.

Just so we don't cross lines
here, don't go angry on me.

Wh... Um, one more time?

I'm the young, angry activist.

You're the older... Obama statesman.

That's the only way they keep
two black pundits on the panel,

if we both stick to our lanes.

- Huh.
- Okay?

It's good to have you on board, Adrian.

That was fun last
time. Good viral clips.

Keep it up.

Thanks.

As usual, we have our
team of legal experts

giving us their perspective
for the week in law.

And for the fourth week in a row,

we turn to the bizarre series of deaths

tied to clients killing lawyers.

Overnight, there was another murder.

This one is still unsolved.

A lawyer gunned down in her carport

while walking her dog.

Donna Evans,

seen here representing
a vandalized mosque.

Police suspect her boyfriend,

but many think it's
another client killing.

Your thoughts, Jedidiah?

I think it's part of
this anti-Muslim hysteria

led by Donald Trump,

who made the Muslim ban the
cornerstone of his entire...

Okay, not everything is racism.

- Everything that's racist is racism.
- Okay, look.

This-this woman dealt
with Islamic radicals.

What was she thinking? Did she
have a death wish or something?

It was a desecrated
mosque, Chuck, not ISIS.

Yes, but this lawyer was dealing,

on a daily basis,
with Islamic extremism.

She should've known what
she was getting into.

Do you even know what
you're talking about?

Go ahead, Adrian.

No. It's all right.

No, I think I know as much as you, sir.

No, we're too quick to coddle extremists

in the name of open
borders and globalization.

But these are real people
you're talking about, Chuck.

I knew Donna Evans.

She was a great lawyer.

She did more good in her short life

than you ever will.

I'm not out there defending

- Islamic radicals.
- No, you're in here,

being paid $170,000 a
year to ignorantly yap

your mouth off, Chuck.

How dare you?

Now, how much do you make as a lawyer?

Don't play all high and mighty with me.

So you're coming after my job, now, huh?

We'll see who wins.

I probably should've mentioned
the one rule of cable news.

Don't ever, ever, ever mention money.

Yep.

It was nice meeting you.

Adrian.

Good morning.

Well, that was interesting.

Which part?

The $170,000 a year part.

Is that really how much he's paid?

I lost it, didn't I?

No, I've seen you lose it.

That was intentional.

- My innate sense of drama.
- Oh.

Hmm. Yeah.

I'm sorry. I-I never do this,

but you're the guy
from cable news, right?

My mom could not stop
talking about you last night.

Could you sign something for her?

Her name's Eunice.

The defense has called
you a Nazi, Dennis.

Are you?

- No, ma'am.
- You were present

at the demonstration
at Oak Woods Cemetery,

in which it has been alleged
there were neo-Nazis present.

I was there to honor
the Confederate soldiers

who were imprisoned and died.

It's been charged that the demonstration

you were a part of, has, at its purpose,

to intimidate various
racial and ethnic groups.

It wasn't mypurpose.

Well, I... I just don't
want to lose our history.

Not because it's perfect. It's not.

Those Confederate dead
share the same cemetery

as Jesse Owens and Harold Washington.

- And we should have to think about that.
- I see.

And did you come to a point...

I think you should take this.

- What?
- The jury.

The whole testimony,
they're watching you.

TV does that to people.

Thank you, Dennis.

- Jesus. God.
- No further questions.

- Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
- Go for it.

Mr. Honeycutt.

So, you were aware that there
were Nazis at the demonstration,

but you yourself are not a Nazi?

Not at all.

You are one of the "very fine people"

that the president referred to?

Object to the sarcasm, Your Honor.

- It's a direct quote, Your Honor.
- Sustained nonetheless.

According to your Facebook page,

Mr. Honeycutt, you are
a Civil War reenactor?

Uh, yes, sir.

And you put up a
post... An angry post...

About the uniforms that some
of the reenactors were wearing.

When you wear Velcro

at the Battle of Chickamauga,

you're showing a lack of respect.

Since you take uniforms so seriously,

tell us about the uniform
that you were wearing

at the demonstration you attended.

I wasn't wearing any uniform.

White polo and khaki pants,
like most of the other young men.

Objection.

So did the salespeople at the mall.

- Argumentative.
- I will sustain that.

Are you familiar with a website
called The Mighty Hammer?

I've heard of it.

You've heard of it.

"Put away your brown shirts
and swastika armbands.

Wehrmacht of today
requires that the State

not be able to pick us out.

Khaki pants and white polo shirts only."

When I got dressed, I wasn't
thinking about any of that.

Also, I-I don't own
any swastika armbands,

and I don't much appreciate

being lumped in with people who do.

Or being lumped in
with people at the mall.

Your Honor.

Mr. Boseman,

please dial back your sarcasm.

Certainly, Your Honor.

Mr. Honeycutt, if I have
mischaracterized your beliefs,

I'm sorry.

It's just that we were
able to retrieve...

some writings, postings
of yours from 2012,

which you subsequently deleted.

I'd like to read some now, Your Honor.

Objection, Your Honor. Prejudicial.

- That was six years ago.
- The witness is

- free to disavow, Your Honor.
- Overruled.

"We make ourselves too easy of a target

wearing the Hakenkreuz."

That's like the white hood of the Klan.

"We should let those now in
power forget that we exist.

The Jew's busy making money,

the homosexual's busy
contaminating the culture,

and the Ethiopian is too stupid

to recognize what we represent."

I don't believe that.

- But you believed it then?
- No. No.

I was just quoting other people.

It was just a... a pose.
It was just to provoke.

Provoke? Provoke people like, uh, Jews?

Provoke people like
homosexuals? And provoke blacks?

No! I never, I never meant it!

I didn't believe it!

I-I would like a short
recess, Your Honor.

Fine.

The witness probably needs
a new disguise anyhow.

They should be here in a minute.

You all right?

Yeah. Why?

No reason. Just asking.

I'm pregnant.

Congratulations.

I'm telling everyone now.

Okay. I'll throw you a shower.

- No. Please. Don't.
- Too late.

No, seriously. I hate showers.

Well, this'll be a new, hip one.

With a stripper.

Lucca, sorry to keep you waiting.

Come on in.

Thank you for the meeting.

I wanted to officially inform
the partners of my pregnancy.

- Oh!
- You may have wondered

why I haven't yet told anyone.

It was only to prepare
some contingencies.

Uh, may we interrupt?

Yeah, of course.

- Congratulations!
- Congratulations!

You look wonderful.

Thank you.

Uh, the birth date is
scheduled for May 22.

I'll be back at my desk on May 25,

having missed only three work days,

none of which are in court.

All medical appointments
will be before 9:00 a.m.

All at-home child care is lined up.

I'm not asking for, nor do I
need, any special allowances.

I can and will continue
my full workload.

With no interruptions.

And I'm especially eager
to resume first chair

on the Marconi double murder case,

having worked on it for a year.

Well, uh, as the, uh, father of six,

I'd like to bring up
the... fullness of the task.

Noted.

And I would like to acknowledge,

in accordance with the law,
that we are behind your plan.

So go to it.

Oh, how'd it go?

So what do we think?

I don't think we can think, legally.

We just have to react.

So, we'll react to
how she does in court.

Yeah. And keep Maia ready to step in.

I want to welcome Warren
Hesseman, deputy to the mayor.

I should say up front, I'm
a trial lawyer's best friend.

Now more than ever, we need 'em.

- They're our guardrails.
- Then we need you

to be intermediary with the police.

They are not taking
these murders seriously.

It may look that way from the
outside, but that's not true.

Wilk Hobson did not
commit suicide. I knew him.

He was getting angry phone calls.

Then the police will investigate.

They already investigated.
They called it a suicide.

That was an unofficial statement.

Look, Warren, we don't think

the police are taking
these cases seriously.

What do we have to do?

- I'll bring your concerns to them.
- Ugh!

But... but I need your help.

Ah, now we get the solicitation.

No. The police, whether
rightly or wrongly,

see you as the enemy because
sometimes, frankly, you are.

- How are we the enemy?
- You sue them.

Of course we sue them. It
keeps the police honest.

Some firms make it their
mission to sue the police.

Stop beating around the bush.

There's only one firm at this table

responsible for 60% of the lawsuits

against the police.

Every single one of them was justified.

No one's denying that,
but it's the provocation

that sets the police against you.

The victims are the problem?

The police should be
sued when they do wrong.

But sometimes they don't do
wrong, and they still get sued.

It's making the dialogue
with the police much harder.

We don't want the
police to be our friends.

We just want them to
do their fucking job.

Okay, let's leave it there, Warren.

Anything you can do for us,

we ask that you do, and we'll
see what we can do for you.

It's none of their business what we do

with our police brutality cases!

- And that's what we told them.
- Then why bring it up here? Why?

Sharing with you how we're being
perceived. That's all, Julius.

So, what, the police
will only do their job

if we drop our police brutality cases?

Warren Hesseman suggested
that we tread lightly.

I'm not saying we will.

You're telling us about it.

How can that not have a chilling effect?

Would it be better if we
didn't tell you anything?

No, it would be better if we dropped out

of the Big Six conference.

We've only been invited
because it pressures us

into dropping our
police brutality cases.

I disagree. We have a seat at the table.

We are sitting with the Big Six!

It's worth all the fucking
irritation in the world!

They ask us to do something
that we don't want to do,

we just say no.

Is this you talking or the pundit?

The defense moves

to exclude the testimony of Dr.
William Brentwood, Your Honor.

Uh-huh.

So, is this pretrial
motion number 234 or 235?

Yes, it sure does seem that
way, doesn't it, Your Honor?

Yes. I'm not buttered up, Counselor.

There have been just as
many prosecutorial motions.

So who is this Dr. Brentwood?

The expert witness the
prosecution will call

to discuss the blood spatter evidence.

If I may, Your Honor?

I'm not finished with my motion.

And we again ask that the prosecution

release its discovery to us.

This is getting dangerously
close to a Brady violation.

I have a motion that takes precedence.

Procedural, not evidentiary.

You should have brought it up earlier.

You're so quick to step in that
I wasn't given the opportunity.

Oh, well, you two are really something.

What's the motion, Mr. Morrello?

- A continuance, Your Honor.
- Another?

The prosecution moves

to reschedule the trial to
start the week of May 21.

Your Honor, that's absurd.

The prosecution is
proposing a four-month delay.

"Absurd's" a little strong.

A few weeks is hardly uncommon
in a case this complicated.

This motion denies our client
his constitutionally-mandated

right to a speedy trial.

A few months is not a speedy
trial violation, Your Honor.

Okay. This was fun.

I want the two of you
to go out into the hall,

pull out your calendars
and decide on a date.

Come back here in an hour,
and I'll hear your proposal.

You are taking advantage
of this situation.

I'm not taking advantage of anything.

I'm prosecuting a case.

Take the next one.

You asked for the trial to start
the same week this baby is due,

and that's not taking advantage?

I picked dates that are
convenient for the prosecution,

ignoring your pregnancy,

which is what you seem
to expect us all to do.

Oh, my God, I get it.

You want to argue against Maia.

- What?
- You know she's inexperienced.

That's what this is about.

Okay, could you please drop
the conspiracy theories?

There's nothing nefarious here.

Hi. Do you mind if I sit here?

I have to get right back to work.

No, go ahead. I'm in a rush, too.

God, I hate working at a law firm.

- Ugh. Tell me about it.
- Where are you at?

Uh, Mendelssohn, Grant and Associates.

Oh, yeah. I heard that was hard.

Which lawyer?

- Franz Mendelssohn.
- Wow.

The top guy. A lot of clients.

You just signed someone new, didn't you?

Uh, who do you mean?

Oh, someone... Ugh.

I saw the paperwork.

Is it someone with the Chicago P.D.?

Yeah, their civil cases.

We don't have it yet, but we're trying.

Yeah, that must be it.

Which firm are you with?

Pinwheel, Winkler and Associates.

Pinwheel, Winkler.

I-I don't think I've ever heard of them.

Oh, we're just starting out.

Oh.

I better go.

- Good luck with Chicago P.D.
- Thanks.

Diane.

There's something with Franz
Mendelssohn you should know.

Seriously?

That's great, Marissa. Fantastic work.

Okay, talk to you later.

Right?

Your Honor!

The defense has rolled its eyes.

Unintended, Your Honor.

Sometimes my eyes have
a mind of their own.

Mr. Boseman.

Refrain from all visual commentary.

Of course, Your Honor.

Let me ask another
question, uh, Mr. Kuzma.

Uh, one more to the plaintiff's liking.

Why did you print the
plaintiff's name and address?

'Cause I hate Nazis.

And I really hate Nazis
marching in the streets.

Do I intentionally
inflict emotional distress?

I sure hope so.

Mr. Kuzma,

where did you find Dennis
Honeycutt's address?

Oh, it's in the phone book.

It's in the phone book?

- Yes.
- So isn't it just as likely

that the arsonists found the
address in the phone book?

Objection. Beyond the scope.

I can see why you wouldn't want

that question answered.

I'd like all the lawyers in my chambers.

- Why, Your Honor?
- Because I said so!

Enough showboating, Mr. Boseman.

Excuse me?

Don't play coy with me.
You are playing to the jury.

Your Honor, I am simply...

Yes, actually, I am.

I am playing our case to the jury.

That's my job.

- Watch your tone, sir.
- He's trading on

his punditry, Your Honor.

No, I am being an advocate.

It is posturing.

And I will not allow
that in my courtroom.

I don't care how many times

you've been on television, Mr. Boseman.

Leave it outside my court.

Your Honor, could you point out

what Mr. Boseman should do differently?

Excuse me?

What is he doing that
he should do differently?

He should stop playing to the jury.

Should he stop looking at the jury?

That is not what I'm saying.

Should he remain seated?

No. He knows what he's doing.

Your Honor, what Mr. Boseman is doing

is being an effective advocate

for our client.

You are asking him
to change his behavior

without telling him how to
change, so I-I must object.

To what?

To your order that Mr. Boseman

stop effectively
representing our client.

That is not what my order requires.

Well, then you sustain our objection?

- No.
- Well, then I'd like a ruling, Your Honor.

To quote a lawyer that I respected,

"I want a ruling that I can appeal."

Well, then try this one
on for size. Overruled.

Thank you, Your Honor.

You two have a winnable case here.

I don't know why you're doing
everything you can to lose it.

Because you're trying to
tie one hand behind our back.

And the jury is going to know that.

Is there anything else, Your Honor?

Yes. Get out.

Thank you.

Wow.

I thought I was the troublemaker.

Wait till you hear
what Marissa found out.

What do you got?

Your new friend Mendelssohn,
he's playing you.

We have no news on the
police investigation,

but I do want to discuss and review

the meeting we had with Mr. Hesseman.

What is there to discuss?
He threw everything

- right back at us.
- I don't think that's true.

He had, I think, a very
constructive suggestion.

Which was?

That our police brutality cases

against the department are

a thorn in all our sides.

Not in the number of them,
but in the-the scope of them,

the-the fury of them.

Not us. We don't have cases.

Adrian, do you have something

to contribute?

No.

We're here to try to work
together as a group, Adrian.

When you throw a bomb
at the police department,

we all feel it.

You don't think there's any
call to change your culture?

Not until you drop
your new client, Franz.

- My new client? I don't understand.
- Two months ago,

you shopped yourself to the
Chicago Police Department,

arguing you could
reduce their liability.

That's not true.

Are you saying it's not true

that the Chicago Police Department

is thinking of taking
its business to your firm?

No, I'm saying my solicitation
has nothing to do with

this working group's
dealings with the police.

There's a Chinese wall.

Is this fucking true, Franz?

You've been trying to talk them
into going easy on police cases

so you could win yourself
a department contract?

No, this has nothing to do with my...

Of course it has
everything to do with it!

No one here would believe
that I would stoop so low

to use this group for my own advantage!

I believe it.

I guess I do, too.

I believe it, too.

- Excuse us.
- Thank you.

- Oh, boy, oh, boy.
- How disappointing.

Well, you seem ready to go, Ms. Quinn.

What have you two decided?

Your Honor, we couldn't
come to an agreement.

We didn't come to an
agreement because the date

the AUSA is insisting on for this trial

coincides with the due date of my baby.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

Did you explain your
situation to the AUSA?

No.

Because there's no need.

He already knows the due date.

He's the father.

Huh.

That's right, Your Honor.

The AUSA is trying to use what
he knows about my situation...

I.e. knocking me up... To his advantage.

- Uh, uh, Your Honor...
- He wants me off the case

because that'll give him
a better chance of winning.

That's...

Mr. Morrello, it's your turn.

Share your thinking.

I asked for the...

Your Honor...

I asked for the continuance

because we, the Department of Justice,

need more time to prepare our case.

Many of our attorneys have resigned,

and I have inherited this
case from an outgoing AUSA.

What Ms. Quinn is suggesting...

Oh, go ahead and call me Lucca.

The judge knows we're
on a first-name basis.

She's right.

What Lucca...

is suggesting is incredibly cynical,

not to mention hypocritical,

because now she's using her pregnancy

to win sympathy from you, Your Honor.

Yes, I noticed.

Oh, boy, this kid's
gonna have great parents.

Okay. Here goes.

No continuance.

Mr. Morrello,

no one can know your true
reason for moving the trial date,

but it doesn't look good, and
I'm not going to indulge it.

Get your case ready.
You're going to trial.

And, Ms. Quinn,

your pregnancy is not going to earn you

any special dispensation at trial.

So, you'd better get ready, too.

I wasn't trying to get you

kicked off the case.

Excuse me. Do you have an appointment?

I wasn't being strategic in court.

I wasn't trying to get
you bumped from the case.

Then what were you doing? Go
over there and turn around.

We're having a baby.

I'm having a baby.

- The continuance was for your benefit.
- Oh, my God.

I didn't think this could
get any worse, but here we go.

This trial is going
to be very stressful.

Okay? A double murder.

A-And we're gonna be
screaming at each other.

- Can I turn around now, please?
- No, actually.

Oh, God.

Do you know how offensive this is?

"Colin, I'm-I'm very worried
about your delicate sensibility.

Maybe it would be better
if you sit this one out."

An AUSA in my first year,
she had a miscarriage.

She was in the middle of the
biggest trial of her career.

Oh, no. And the same thing
could happen to me? Really?

Could I please just
be a little concerned?

No. You can't.

Some little part of
your DNA is inside me.

That's all.

We had sex. We both regretted it.

I didn't.

Okay. That's your problem.

Good-bye.

You know, I came here
for a different reason.

Colin, I am okay. Really.

You guys represent
Peeper Newsnow, right?

Why?

Oh, just because we arrested someone,

someone that might prove useful to you.

Who?

No, y-you're not interested, right?

- No. No, I-I-I'm interested now.
- No, I'll go.

Who?

Lacey Harmon. Antifa
activist and day trader.

Do you know the plaintiff,

Dennis Honeycutt?

No, but I know of him.

I burned his house down.

Okay, let's keep our voices down.

How'd you find his house, Lacey?

Online.

There's a picture of
it with a street sign

on his Facebook page.

You didn't find it on PeeperNews.com?

No. I never even heard of
it till you guys found me.

No further questions, Your Honor.

Okay.

Anything, Ms. Wood Lutz?

Just a recess, Your Honor.

Recess for lunch.

$300,000.

No.

In fact, if you keep pursuing
this, we will countersue.

Well-played.

Diane Lockhart's office.

Um, she's not in right now, Mr. Boseman.

I actually called to
talk to you, Marissa.

Me? Why?

Say thank you.

Good job getting that
dirt on Mendelssohn.

Oh, well, uh, that was just, you know...

Marissa, take the thank you.

Right.

You're welcome.

You got your ten percent raise.

You... Seriously?

Really good job.

Uh, thank you, Mr. Boseman.

This is the first
raise I've ever gotten.

First of many, I'm sure.

Bye-bye.

So, what happened to J.D.?

You did.

Yup. Don't get up.

Adrian, how are you?

Good. Good.

Good. Great.

Listen, everyone at
the network loves you.

You're smart. You're articulate.

The thing is, is we like it

when you bring a little
more heat to the panel.

Oh. Be the angry, black man.

God, no.

That's an ugly stereotype.

Just-just go with your impulses.

People are riled up these days.

They want to hear someone
saying what they're thinking.

That's all.

We're all looking for
those viral moments.

I'll see you out there.
That's a great vest.

Why does racism only go one way?

That's what I want to know.

I see racism against whites
every day, every single day,

yet I'm a racist for pointing that out?

Adrian, what's your take?

Take on what?

What Chuck just said.

Is racism just a one-way street?

I think that's his opinion.

Look at your firm, Adrian.

You get the benefit of no-bid contracts

because you're an African-American firm.

Now, a-as a white lawyer, what
am I supposed to think of that?

I don't know.

I think Chuck is pointing out
a double standard here, Adrian.

I mean, take hip-hop.

We've talked about
this on the show before.

You have African-American
rappers saying N-word this

and N-word that, but a Caucasian can't?

So say it.

- Say what?
- Say the word you want to say.

I-I'm not saying that I want to say it.

- I'm just saying that I can't.
- Sure you can.

Say it. Say it right now.

I will say it with you.

Okay, this is hypocritical.

- You know we can't.
- Sure you can.

This is America. Both of you.

Say it.

N... N...

All right, I think we can move on.

Why? Why move on when
you want to say it?

Both of you want to say it. Huh?

N...

All together, everybody.

N... N...

Fuck you.

Was I angry enough for you?

I don't think he likes me.

Good job.
