LANEY:
No one goes to Afghanistan
thinking it's gonna be pretty.

I understood.

Everybody in the unit understoodthat people were gonna die.

-But what he did...
-By "he,"
you mean the defendant?

Yes, Sergeant Meyer.
What he did wasn't about

fighting the enemy.
For him, it was a game.

He picked off this one old womanwith a sniper rifle.

She wasn't a threat,
she was just...

She was just walking.

The body was still lying there
an hour later

when we passed in a convoy.

And the sergeant had us stop

so he could yank out
one of her teeth.

-VAZQUEZ: Her teeth?
-The sergeant must have

seen my look, because he said,

"It's like antlers from a deer.

You can't go thinking
they're human."

Later, I found out he had a...
a mason jar full of teeth.

Did you witness him
murder a child?

A ten-year-old boy.

Ghulam Dawood.

I knew the kid a little.

He came up to me once with
a picture of LeBron James.

Big smile on his face.

That boy was no jihadi.

VAZQUEZ:
Once you were convinced
Sergeant Meyer

went on a rogue killing spree,

-did you take action
to stop him?
-I did.

I fixed his sniper rifle
so he couldn't get off a shot.

And when that didn't work,
we went to the platoon leader.

We trusted the chain of command.

-How's it been?
-You know what it's like

to testify against
your superiors.

Some hate you, most ignore you,

-a few get it.
-In what proportions?

A lot more hate.

[chuckles]

What's that about?

Hey, De', you know, you said
you fixed Meyer's rifle.

-How'd you do that?-LANEY: I hacked his scope. Why?

-Oh, shit. You don't think...
-Don't say anything.

If it's about you,
don't say anything.

-Oh, fuck.
-No, Demarcus, listen to me.

Ask for Captain Trudo. He's thebest of the military lawyers.

-Corporal Demarcus Laney,
you're under arrest.
-Mention me.

-What did I do? What? What?
-Hey, Lan-Laney. Shut up.

And remember,
ask for Captain Trudo.

[chuckling]

-Do you need something?
-Oh, no.

No, it's just hard
to get used to this.

A limo driving me up
to a private jet.

Do it enough times,
you get used to it.

What are enough times?

Five.

[Lucca laughing]

[car doors open, close]

-I got it.
-Oh, no. My parents

always taught me
to carry my own luggage.

So did mine, and I'm being paid.

Thank you.

-Hi.
-You got babysitting?

-I did.
-And you brought a swimsuit?

I... No.

-I'm going to work, right?
-Uh,

yeah, but, uh, you know,
it's by the beach.

I have extra.

-Come on.
-Hey, what's wrong?

Oh, nothing.
I just broke up with somebody.

-What, just now?
-Don't worry.

He was an asshole.

BIANCA:
And then

-he asked if I would look over
his business plan.
-Oh, God.

It's a version of Bird

-but with Segways instead.
-[laughs]

He only needs a few mil
to get started.

I'm so sorry.

Three dates,and they always want something.

What about you?

Do I want something?

[scoffs]
No. Do you get the same thing?

Do men want me for my money?

-Oh, yeah, all the time.
-[laughs]

It's a burden.

No, really.
What's going on with you?

Nothing.
I'm not that interesting.

Fuck you.
I'm always the one talking.

-You never share.
-There's nothing to share.

I have a toddler.
I'm trying to make partner.

Have you heard
of the lawyer's dilemma?

Work, family,

fitness, friends, sleep.

You get to choose three
of those.

-Which are yours?
-Work, family, sleep.

Trade sleep for friends,
and we have a deal.

[Bianca chuckles]

[phone ringing]

Oh, shit, I left my phone on.

Lucca.

It's my plane.
You can have it on.

Marissa, hey.

-What's up?
-Diane wants you

in the partner meeting
in five minutes.

What? N-No, I'm...
Marissa, I'm...

I'm joking.
[chuckles]

Don't do that.

-So, what's it like?
Is there a hot tub?
-No.

You're kidding.
Why have a private jet

if you don't have a hot tub?

Since when?

-[both chuckle]
-So, you'll check in

on Francesca for me?

This is the longest

-that she's looked
after Joseph.
-Got it.

She's not gonna replace me
as a friend?

-Francesca?
-No, your rich friend.

-Just remember, I'm funnier.
-Oh, yeah.

I'll remember when I'm sitting
in a hammock on the beach.

-See you in a few days.
-Buy me something.

I'm on my way there right now.

I need a month off.

No.

-Then this is my notice.
-Wait.

You're my eyes and ears
down there.

I know. And I need a month off
to defend someone.

-Who?
-Someone I owe my life to.

Who?

An Army corporal.

He's been charged
with insubordination,

-sabotage
and negligent homicide.
-All right.

-So he has a military lawyer.
-Yeah, and they replaced him

with a bad one.

-He's going to court tomorrow.
-Okay.

Wait.

-Come with me.
-Where?

Don't be so suspicious.

Just come with me.

CALEB:
Uh, wait.

-Uh...
-What? You're not

doing this alone.

-Mr. Firth.
-Liz.

-Where's Adrian?
-Uh, New York.

-At a legal conference.
-GAVIN: Oh. You two

-know each other?
-Uh...

-Not so much.
-Ye...

-But to a certain degree.
-But we did the...

-the one case.
-Sure.

-Yeah.
-Okay.

So, I need you to help Caleb
with a case in military court

as a personal favor.

I'd like Caleb to stay involvedwith things down here.

-Okay?
-Sure.

Thanks.

[sighs]

-I didn't ask...
-I know.

-And you don't have to...
-No, it's...

It's my job.

Listen, um...

I just want you to know

that I've never done
anything like that before.

Me, neither.Wait, what are we talking about?

Going off together.

Um, I-I haven't been with anyonesince my divorce.

It was just experimentation.

-Right?
-Right.

And we move on.

Exactly. Moving on.

So, uh, what's the case?

CALEB:
Corporal Demarcus Laney.

He's a friend I served with
in the Baghlan Province.

-How long were you in the Army?-Five years.

-You don't seem like the type.
-[chuckles]

-What's the type?
-I don't know.

J-Just not you.

-[chuckles]
-Where is Baghlan Province?

Afghanistan.

Laney testified
against a superior

and admittedhe'd sabotaged his sniper rifle.

Next day, his superior killed
an Afghan translator,

and they're blaming
Laney's sabotage.

Why'd he sabotage the gun?

Because his superior
was committing war crimes.

Laney wanted to keep the rifle
from firing.

Okay, well, we'll...

We'll get a quick continuance
to buy us some time.

MARSHAL:
All rise.

Okay.
[clears throat]

Where are we on this?

Plaintiff is ready to proceed,
Your Honor.

Defense asks the court
for a continuance of 60 days.

KNOWLES:
Your Honor, that would be
their fourth continuance.

JANSEN:
I'm arguing an appeal
before the Seventh Circuit

on Thursday. Can't be helped.

Your Honor, the last
two continuances were granted

because Mr. Jansen was going
out of town for depositions.

Before that, he was on vacation.

Even litigators need a holiday.

This is a way
to starve our case.

They are a deep pocket
who can outwait us.

They'll get
constant continuances,

and then afterwards,
they'll appeal.

And then they'll appeal
those appeals,

and not because they think
that they can win

but because they know
we don't have the money

to keep the case going.

So we'll quit.

[clears throat]

60-day continuance granted.

-Marked final.
-[gavel bangs]

MARSHAL:
All rise.

JONAH:
My God.

Look at yourself.

Go away. You don't exist.

You're damn right.A conservative with principles?

There don't seem to be any
of those around here.

Well, it's very easy
for you to stay true

to your principles. You don't
live in the real world.

Go ahead. Make excuses

-for what you've become.
-What's that?

A bad judge.

Someone slides a piece of paperacross your desk

with "Memo 618,"
and you fold like origami.

Yeah, well...

MAN:
Attention!

At ease.

Sergeant.

Corporal Laney, what was wrong

with the attorney
assigned to you?

-I prefer the ones
I have now, Your Honor.
-The Army

doesn't pay
for civilian counsel.

Our firm has taken the case
pro bono, Your Honor.

He will not be charged
for our services.

Military attorneys receive

-specialized training.
-CALEB: I've served

in the Army, Your Honor.
Sergeant Garlin.

You have legal training
in the Army?

No, ma'am.

We understand there are

differences between civilian

and military practice
and, uh, we move for

a continuance to give us
time to familiarize ourselves

with the case and the rules

-of court-martial.
-Denied.

Your Honor, we are only trying
to ensure a fair trial.

So am I-- justice delayed
is justice denied.

Corporal Laney will not

get extra time
just for rejecting

the counsel provided to him.

Opening statements begin
tomorrow at 0900 hours.

Maybe we can get
a real chair by then.

I'll get the exhibits ready.

Okay. Jay!

Hey.

Listen, this is a list of men
who served in Afghanistan

with a soldier
that we're defending.

Can you see if they'll
testify for him?

When do you need them?

We're in court tomorrow,
so hurry.

Okay.

Your firm argue
in military court?

Diane?

That bird has been
staring at me.

LIZ:
Okay.

It's been there for ten minutes.

[knocking]

Are you all right?

Oh, yes, sorry.

I just have nothing to do.

Wait, I thought you were chasingall those disappearing cases.

The Memo 618?

Yeah, well, I've moved on.

Why?

Threats.

-We received threats.
-"We"?

-Kurt and I.
-Well, it makes sense.

Once swatted, twice shy.

Listen, your old firm,

did you argue in military court?

Um, my partner did,
Will Gardner.

Was he in front of Leora Kuhn?

He was, yes.

Okay, what do you know
about her?

You know, I'll...

-I'll come back.
-Uh, no, uh...

Kuhn is tough.

By the book, but fair.
Uh, Will ended up

liking her.
She just needs you

-to follow the rules

-Got it, thanks.

[indistinct chatter]

Excuse me?

Uh, yes?

♪

Uh, how do I know you?

I don't know.

Who are you?

Diane Lockhart.

Oh! Oh, you're Diane.

It's nice to meet you.

I've heard some good things.

Some interesting things.
[chuckles]

Oh.

I-I'm sorry, it's just,

I had a dream and...

you were in it.

You were Weinstein's lawyer.

Really? [chuckles]

Oh, my God.

Well, I didn't do
very well, did I?

It was nice meeting you.

Uh, hey, Diane?

Do you have a minute?

I'm arguing in front of the
judge who used to work here.

-Oh, Julius?
-Yes, Judge Cain.

And I...

was wondering...

if you could sit at my table?

-It won't make any difference.
-Maybe not.

But we need any edge we can get.

May I ask you something?

What were you writing in there?

-In your notes?
-Oh, nothing.

It looked like... dots.

It's just something I do.

You draw dots?

Yes.

Can I see?

[sighs]

I know, people think I'm crazy.

I've been doing it
for a while now.

I'm up to 989,000.

Why?

It's calming.

I used to take notes.

Verbatim notes

on every deposition,
every meeting,

trial, negotiation, and then

I would go home and make
notes on those notes.

And then I would
review those notes

and make even more notes and...

I... was an obsessive writer.

As a kid, it was my diary.

And then in college,
my journal.

And then five years ago, I...

lost my notebooks in a cab.

And then my hair fell out...

because I was so worried.

But you know what happened?

Nothing.

Everything I ever wrote,
it didn't matter.

Everything everybody wrote--
pointless.

And that's when I started
drawing dots.

I felt... like

I accomplished something

every time I completed a book.

And I'm almost up to a million.

[chuckles]

So now when I watch the news,

when I... see what's
going on in the world...

...when I realize how little
impact I have...

...I draw dots.

[seagulls calling]

There is no work here, is there?

-Sure there is.
-[scoffs] Where?

We spent the whole day
at a resort.

Don't you like it here?

Yes, but I feel guilty.

I need to work.

-This iswork.
-Bianca.

Seriously!

This...

is the work.

-"This"?
-Yep.

-I want to buy it.
-[laughs]

The whole resort.

I'm not joking. Here.

See if you think
it's a good deal.

[laughs quietly]

And you're all
willing to testify?

Yeah.

I saw Meyer kill a girl.

She couldn't have been
more than 12.

One shot with a sniper rifle.

Do you think Laney went too far,sabotaging his gun?

No, we complained about Meyer
up the chain of command.

But nobody did anything.

LIZ:
So we use

their testimony to substantiateLaney's account.

Yeah, and go after Meyer.

Wait, isn't it a mistake to go
after a superior officer?

No, Laney's being
court-martialed

under Article 92,
which is a double-edged sword.

It's wrong to "willfully
disobey a lawful command

of a superior officer."

The key word is "lawful."

A soldier has an affirmative
duty to disobey,

or even prevent,
an unlawful order.

So we prove

that Meyer's command
was unlawful,

and that Laney was... was right

-in trying to stop him?
-Yeah.

Did you enjoy serving?

Uh...

in Afghanistan, yeah, I did.

Why?

-I liked my squad.
-Oh.

Did you ever kill anyone?

I did, from afar.

Was that hard?

No.

Would you go back?

Yeah.

So why lawyering?

I like this country.

I've seen other places
I don't like.

And I want it to stay the same.

Well...

What are you thinking?

Uh...

I was just thinking
that I haven't

lived much of a life.

No.

No, you have.

I know enough to know
that you have.

This, this,

this is how we got
in trouble last time.

Yeah, I know.

But I...

I didn't mind it.

Caleb, I am your...

Superior?

Where should we go?

Get me the defense motion
from...

How are you, Judge?

Good.

Who are you?

Just a visitor.

I was hearing about you when
you were at Reddick/Boseman.

You were on everyone's
shortlist for a judgeship.

Is there, uh, something
I can help you with, sir?

Oh, no, no, you're
doing great already.

Your instincts are
right on the money.

And you're young enough
to go the distance, so...

-maybe I can help you.
-With what?

I move people up the ladder.

What are you talking about?

You don't become an appellate
judge by seniority.

You get there by listening.

You just keep doing
what you're doing.

Just wanted to say hello.

Who are you?

My number.

Oh, I ran into Oscar Griegson
in the hall.

He's before you today.

He's a big donor.

I'll tell him I spoke to you.

[door closes]

-[gavel bangs]
-All stand.

Mr. Oscar Griegson
and Ms. Chang,

approach, please.

I've read your papers in supportof a 60-day continuance,

Mr. Griegson. Denied.

OSCAR [laughs]:
Excuse me,

-Your Honor?
-Ms. Chang, are you ready
to proceed?

-I am.
-I-I would like to remind

the court that... the defense

simply isn't prepared
to go forward at this time.

You've got
until 1:00 p.m. today.

If that's still not enough time,

I'm sure Ms. Chang here
would be happy

to accept my default judgment
against you.

-Next case, people! Let's go!
-[gavel bangs]

The facts of the case
aren't in dispute.

Corporal Laney
confessed on the stand

that he stole an M24 sniper
rifle from Sergeant Meyer,

his superior, and sabotaged it.

The next day, Sergeant Meyer
tried to use that weapon

on a patrol, and,
instead of killing the target,

his bullet hit translator
Ahmad Mowad in the head,

killing him instantly.

This should be cut and dried.

But the civilian defense team
will try to muddy the waters.

They'll tell you
the problem isn't Laney.

It's Sergeant Meyer.

So let me tell you about him,
before they do.

Sergeant Meyer
is an exemplary soldier.

-So brave in combat...
-[whispers]: Let me take
the opening.

-Why?
-Who delivers it matters.

What? Because I'm a woman?

-No, because you're a civilian.-BRIGHAM: The defense will try

to vilify Sergeant Meyer
in an attempt

-to shore up their weak case.
-No, let me.

BRIGHAM:
But I think you will agree,
Corporal Laney

committed a criminal offense
contrary

to Article 92 of the UCMJ.

That is all, Honor Advocate.

Thank you. Defense?

Good morning.

-The prosecutor...
-There's no prosecutor here.

Trial counsel and defense.

Of course.

Trial counsel,
Mr. Brigham...

Major Brigham.

Thank you, Your Honor.

Major Brigham would have
you believe that the defendant

is a rogue actor

and that his behavior was driven

by resentment
of a superior officer.

Instead, he had real
and justified anxiety

that Sergeant Meyer...

was a dangerous man.

As you listen
from the jury box...

There is no jury here.

That is a panel of members.

Of course.

We will prove to you
that Corporal Laney's actions

were brave and reasonable

in light of the circumstances.

And now my cocounsel

will walk you
through those reasons.

-[exhales]
-[quietly]: You're right.

CALEB:
Corporal Laney tried,

repeatedly,

to get Sergeant Meyer
to change his behavior.

So did other men in the unit,

other men who will testify

about Meyer's disregard
for human life,

recklessness,

and unwillingness
to follow military protocols

or the laws of war.

What Major Brigham here
wants you to forget

is that there are limits
to obedience,

even in the Army.

Apparently,
he forgot his training.

But I haven't.

I'm sure you haven't either.

The chain of command
doesn't mean

that you do anything
your C.O. tells you.

Every grunt learns
on the first day

that there are commands

and commanders you must disobey.

This is a chess clock.

When you argue motions,
start it,

and you'll have 45 seconds
to complete your argument.

-That is unfair, Your Honor.
-Only for those

-who want to give speeches.
-This is a rocket docket.

That's what you are doing.

If you're objecting, Counselor,

start the clock.

[ticking]

I can't distill my argument downto 45 seconds.

We're fine over here.

The legal doctrine of laches
says

that when one party
delays unreasonably,

the court may intervene.

So, Mr. Griegson,
you're on notice.

No more delays.

Ms. Chang,
you're the plaintiff here.

You're up first.

-Let's go.
-[gavel bangs]

Sergeant Meyer, isn't it true

that you are being
court-martialed for murder

-down the hall?
-Objection, Your Honor.
Relevance.

Ms. Reddick wants to distract
from her own client's crimes

-by smearing the witness.
-The accusations

against Sergeant Meyer
are essential

to putting our client's actionsinto context.

Overruled.
You may answer, Sergeant.

On the advice of counsel,
I assert my right

under the Fifth Amendment
against self-incrimination.

KUHN:
Sergeant, you understand,
if you assert that right,

you cannot answer any question
put to you?

-Yes, Your Honor.
-BRIGHAM: We move
to release the witness.

-If he's not gonna answer
the questions...
-CALEB: Your Honor,

the defense is entitled
to question the witness.

If he doesn't want to answer,

the panel can draw
its own conclusions.

The defense is just hoping
the panel will hold

this exercise of constitutionalrights against him.

I agree.

You may proceed, Ms. Reddick.

Sergeant Meyer,
isn't it true that you used

a 15-year-old girl
wearing a blue hijab

crossing the town square
as target practice?

I assert
my Fifth Amendment right

against self-incrimination.

Didn't you strangle
a 17-year-old Afghan boy

who was seeking
medical treatment?

MEYER:
I refuse to answer

on the grounds that doing so

may incriminate me.

Isn't it also true

that you collected teeth
and trophies

-from your victims?
-My answer to this question

and to future questions

is I will assert
my Fifth Amendment right

-against self-incrimination.
-If I were innocent,

hearing all these accusations
against me,

I would feel an overwhelming
desire to defend myself.

Objection.

-Sustained.
-Nothing further.

-You may step down, Sergeant.
-BRIGHAM: Your Honor,

I also have questions
for the witness.

Major Brigham
just finished arguing

that questions were useless.

And he was overruled.

Go ahead, Major.

BRIGHAM:
Isn't it true that Ms. Reddick

hopes that, by making wildaccusations that you can't deny,

she'll persuade the panel
that you're a dangerous man?

I assert
my Fifth Amendment right

against self-incrimination.

Just to make it clear
how ludicrous

this defense strategy is,

could you please confirm,
Sergeant Meyer,

that you are, in fact,
an alien sun god?

MEYER:
I refuse to, on the grounds

-it may incriminate me.
-Isn't it also true

that you slaughter unicorns,
Sergeant?

-[chuckling]
-On the advice of counsel,

I refuse to answer,

on the grounds
it may incriminate me.

they write about Kate.

Oh, just put 'em down.

Four jacks.

Wow!

Well, go ahead,
take the pot, bitch.

-GERALDINE: Okay, sushi break.
-TEE: A short one.

Give me time to win it back.

[others chuckle]

Um, no, Bianca, I...

-I can't take this.
-Sure you can.

They can afford it.
Plus, they're having a blast.

Uh, yeah, but, uh, it wasn't
my money to start with,

-it was yours.-So? If someone gives you money

to go to a carnival, and you win

a stuffed animal or a goldfish,
do you give it back?

Yeah, but this-this is nota goldfish or a stuffed animal.

How about I quit,

-and youplay with my winnings.
-No. You're being ridiculous.

You can pay me back the original50, but the rest is yours.

Look, if you're
that uncomfortable, just lose.

[laughter nearby]

Okay. So, how much is there?

Half a million.

What?

But don't forget: 20%...

goes to charity.

-JAY: We got a problem.
-What?

LIZ:
Trump's Twitter feed?

CALEB:
Damn. "Sergeant Meyer

"is one of our great fighters.

"Effective immediately,
I'm pardoning him

-so he can continue to serve
this great country."
-LIZ: Jesus.

CALEB:
"Stop hounding him,

and get back to business."

Okay, okay, so we-we still havethe squad members

to testify to what Meyer did;
the pardon doesn't matter.

No. They're not testifying.

-What? How do you know?
-I called them.

First thing I did.
They're worried about Meyer,

now that he's pardoned,that he's gonna come after them.

Oh, my God.

These guys fight terrorists
and they dismantle IEDs.

-I don't understandwhy they're afraid to speak up.-It's not cowardice.

Meyer keeps his command, he's
back to being their superior.

They got to work with him again.They may have to work

-with him for years.-All right, that... makes sense.

You know, there is...

one witness we can call now.

-[car alarm blaring]
-[jackhammering]

Thank you.

-[baby crying]
-[siren wailing]

Wake up, Cinderella.

Ten-hut!

At ease.

Does the defense
have anything else?

LIZ:
We have one more witness,
Your Honor.

The defense recalls
Sergeant Meyer to the stand.

The defense has already wasted
the court's time

-with this cynical tactic,
Your Honor.
-The sergeant made it clear

-he would not answer
your questions, Ms. Reddick.
-Yes.

But within the last 24 hours,
the sergeant has been pardoned

for his actions in Afghanistan,

so he no longer has
a Fifth Amendment right.

-He must answer.
-Your Honor...

The Supreme Court precedent

is Burdick v. United States.

The relevant passages are there.

Recall Sergeant Meyer.

LIZ:
Sergeant, isn't it true

that Mr. Ahmad Mowad was shot

in the afternoon
around 3:00 p.m.?

Uh... 1500 hours?

MEYER: I plead the Fifth,
same as before.

KUHN: You must answer
the questions, Sergeant.

You have
no Fifth Amendment right.

So it's true you shot Mr. Mowadat 1500 hours?

[clears throat softly]

-Affirmative.
-And Corporal Laney

has admitted to taking your gunaround dinnertime

the evening before.
Can you confirm that he had

access to your gun at that time?

-Yes.
-And at no other time

before Mr. Mowad was killed?

-That's right.
-I have a document here

stating that you practice

-every morning with your gun.
-Objection.

Trial counsel
has not been given a copy

-of this mysterious document.
-This is a transcript

of your opening statement,
Major.

I'm assuming you told the truth.

Overruled, Major.

LIZ:
Actually, we did more
than assume; we checked.

The AAMS keeps a log
of bullets used

during target practice.

Sergeant, isn't this your name
right here,

practicing on the morning
that Mr. Mowad was killed?

-Yes.
-So you knew

that your gun was working fine
that morning,

whatever Corporal Laney did
the night before?

-No.
-CALEB: Sergeant.

Before you continue,

uh, please understand
that you were only pardoned

for your actions in Afghanistan.

And if you lie
on the stand today,

that's a new crime:

perjury.

And that's why
the prosecutor's here.

LIZ:
So you knew
that your gun was working fine

when you shot the translator?

Sergeant?

I may... I may have.

Nothing further.

Sergeant, the difference betweena civilian and a combatant

isn't quite as clear
in Afghanistan

as we might imagine, is it?

-No, it isn't.
-For example,

don't terrorists send children
and the elderly

to find American sniper nests,

assuming we'll be
too squeamish to shoot,

so they can use that informationto set traps

-for our soldiers?
-That is correct.

In this tweet, President Trump
calls you a warrior...

-Objection.-This is our commander in chief,

Your Honor, speaking to an issue
pertinent to this court.

Ask your question.

President Trump calls you
a warrior, Sergeant,

and says, "I see nothing wrongwith how Sergeant Meyer behaved.

"He was only doing his duty.

We need our warriors
to be tough these days."

Do you believe...

Corporal Laney,
your subordinate,

not only disobeyed orders

but prevented you
from doing your duty?

Yes.

Nothing further.

Well?

I can't tell.

[siren wailing in distance]

[door opens]

There you go.

-What's this?
-A file.

-For what?
-Some case.

Well...?

Well, what?

Tell me. What'd you do?

I... helped her buy a resort.

You're kidding.
Oh, my God.

But I'm still
the better friend, right?

Always.
So, I have a question for you.

Hit me.

[clears throat]

I won some money playing poker,

-and she lent me my stake.
-How much?

-How much did she lend?
-No, how much did you win?

Fifteen hundred.

Oh. Well,
that was anticlimactic.

But she lent me the money
to bet, so...

shouldn't I give her
all the winnings?

No. She doesn't need $1,500.

-Keep it.
-What if it's a lot more?

Don't ask me how much.

-Okay?
-Okay.

-How much?
-No matter how much money,

-I should give it all
to her, right?
-No.

If you feel guilty,
get her a gift.

Eminent domain.

JULIUS:
Ah. Counselors,

welcome back.

Is everybody ready to get going?

-Yes, Your Honor.
-Actually, Your Honor,

my client is unable
to be here today.

-Aw. Why is that?
-He's in New York

ringing the opening bell
at the stock exchange.

-Oh. Impressive.
-GEORGETTE: Your Honor,

the defendant is still harming
my client's business.

You're suggesting, Counselor,
that any further delays

-might be prejudicial?
-Yes,

-and if I may explain...
-No need.

I agree.
Injunction granted.

-JANSEN: Your Honor, if I...
-No. You had 24 hours

you failed.

Judgment for the plaintiff.

Congratulations.

Well, thank you, Diane.

I think he saw you over here.

No, I don't think that was it.

[knocking]

Enter.

Diane. What's up?

I think you and I
should have lunch.

-Why?
-To trade information

about Memo 618.

[door opens]

So, what do you think?

I can never tell.

Have you reached a verdict?

Corporal Laney, please stand.

On the charge
of negligent homicide,

the panel finds the defendant,
Army Corporal Demarcus Laney,

not guilty.

On the charge
of insubordination,

not guilty.
And on the charge

of damage to military property,guilty.

The panel imposes a sentence
of time served.

Corporal Laney, you may go.

-Court adjourned.
-MARSHAL: Attention!

-Nice work.

-Feels good to win for a change.-[chuckles]
