All language subtitles for The Good Fight 6x02 - The End of the Yips (English)

Motherfucker.

Oh, I'm sorry. You didn't hear that?

Motherfucker!

Fuck you and your moronic
defund-the-police bullshit!

Why? Because you're putting
Trump back into the White House,

you stupid fucking taint-lick!

You've never heard me swear before?

Well, aren't you in for a treat?

Fuck you, and fuck your mother, too.

Yeah. That'll really get people
agreeing with your politics,

asshole!

I'm here to see Julius Cain,
and this was in the elevator.

- Another one?
- Mm.

Tell security it was a man
in camouflage on 18th.

- Could be Antifa, could be Proud Boys.
- Thanks.

Uh, your name, sir?

- Rahm Emanuel.
- Please take a seat?

Sure.

- Eli.
- What is this, a lounge bar?

Do you mind going back to reception?

I'm just finishing up a call.

No, I'll wait.

What's that about?

Oh, they're making
a documentary about the top five

Black prosecutors. Now, will you please

wait in reception?

I'm here to ask you a small favor.

Eli Gold does not ask for small favors.

Well, a medium one.

Put Marissa back on the Lila Royce case.

She was having a bad day.

- That's all.
- Eli, it's a $3 million case.

It's not a training ground for lawyers.

Look, I'll second chair for her.

Do you even know what the case is?

A pop star being sued

for not honoring her contract
to play in Israel.

- Right.
- So how can you defend her?

Because I'm Jewish?

- That is so anti-Semitic.
- O-Okay, okay.

It's not up to me.
It's up to the client.

- Talk to her.
- Good. I'll call her.

Uh, hang on, Eli.

Marissa was there for me,

so I want to offer you
a bit of advice for her.

Make sure she wins this one.

You ready?

Doctor, I had a near-death
experience recently.

Will that change anything?

- What happened?
- A fake hand grenade

from the protest, but I...

I really thought I was
gonna die, and I went numb.

Well, many people believe

that this treatment helps
you step outside yourself

to examine why you felt what you did.

So, I don't think that'll be a problem.

Ready?

I guess.

See you in an hour.

Breathe deeply.

Count back from eight.

Eight.

Seven.

Six.

Five.

Four.

Three...

So, uh, top five Black prosecutors?

- Yes. It's inspired by Kamala Harris.
- Mm-hmm.

You know, so many Black women
are looking

for role models today.

Yeah. And, uh, what's it on,
uh, Netflix or... ?

- Uh, we're still finding a home.
- Okay, well,

anything for a fellow SGRho.

Oh. It's the way to go.

Isn't it?

So this is called an "Interrotron".

Just look right in there.

You'll see my face so you can
just talk right to me.

But on tape, it'll look like
you're talking to the lens.

Sounds great. Uh, perfect.

Okay. So, Ms. Reddick, did you find

your father's legacy
as a major civil rights activist

to be a burden or an asset in your job?

Well, my father's reputation
did open some doors.

Was it difficult working
as a prosecutor?

Tell me what you mean?

Convicting people
your dad would've defended.

Well, I, you...

you know, I think that there are
bad people in the world,

and the best way
to protect the good people is

to convict the bad.

Were there any people you were
worried about convicting?

Tell me... I'm sorry.
Tell me what you mean?

Some of the other prosecutors
we interviewed felt sometimes

their superiors, their white superiors,

required they prosecute even if
they had some hesitations.

Did you have anything like that?

Uh, um... no.

Tell me about the Matthews case.

I'm sorry. The Matthews?

Murder in the first degree, 2008.

Man accused of killing
his pregnant girlfriend.

We're-we're focusing
on one difficult case

with each of the prosecutors
we're profiling, just as a way

to drill down on struggles in the job.

Can you tell us about it?

You wanted to see me, sir?

Ri'Chard.

Please, sit down, Carmen.

Here, have a Pie Crust Cookie.

My mom made 'em.

No, I'm fine.

We thank You, Jesus, for this new day.

And thank You for the opportunity

to reveal Your gifts, and
to help us earn our daily bread.

In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.

Amen.

In 1995, I was living
out of my car in Atlanta.

I had nothing.

I used to dig McDonald's
scratch-off cards

out of the trash to "win" free meals.

Then, one morning,
I found an LSAT study guide,

and I started to read it.

First out of boredom,
then out of interest,

because I thought to myself,
"This, I could do".

I read it cover to cover three times.

Then I went to the library,
and a man there,

C.J. Howard, saw me
check out a stack of law books

as tall as I was,
and he offered me a job.

As a paralegal
in a local Black law firm.

He didn't do it to be kind.

He told me, "I'm doing this
because I expect you

to make me a million dollars".

And I did.

Now I've been looking at how much money

you've made for this firm, Carmen.

You've earned more
than any other associate,

more than 90% of the partners.

And yet, for some reason,
you are still being treated

like a new lawyer
fresh out of law school.

I am a new lawyer
fresh out of law school.

I want to change that!

I want to move you upstairs.

Right there.

Come on in.

These are third-year associates.

They now work for you.

They no longer take commands
from the other partners.

If you want them to grab
your laundry, they'll do it.

Thank you.

Why am I doing this?

I don't expect you
to make me a million dollars.

I expect you to make me $20 million.

In the first year.

Mr. Lane, I appreciate the confidence,

but I can't accept all this.

Why?

I don't like having people work for me.

I don't like having to explain myself.

Thank you for the office,

but I don't want the attention.

I just want to keep working
the way I've been working.

Carmen, no one wants the attention,

but Jesus marks some of us

for greater things.

And the attention will come either way.

Thank you, sir,

but...

I want to remain where I am.

I respect that.

It's good to meet you, Carmen.

Oh, by the way, do you
and Liz not get along?

No. We do.

She's my mentor.

Huh.

I'll be mentoring you from now on.

What?

Is everything all right?

Yes. Mr. Lane just wanted to meet.

- Why?
- He wants to mentor me.

Really?

Yes.

You heard we got a new one?

Yes. And it's not just our building.

All the buildings on the street
are getting grenades.

And they're counting down
to some last protest

- on November 10.
- All right.

Then we need to arrange
for extra security detail,

- especially to escort our lawyers to their cars.
- Uh-huh.

All right? And can you do
one more thing for me?

Can you look into a Deandra Minton?

- Who?
- It's this, uh, documentary that I agreed to.

There's a chance
that it's not all positive.

Tough questions?

Well, she asked a lot about a case

that I prosecuted 13 years ago.

Matthews. It was...
it was a murder case.

- See you tomorrow.
- All right. Can't wait.

Thanks, guys. Thank you.

Why don't you just get rid of her?

I-I might be overreacting, you know?

Okay, I'll see what I can find out.

- Okay, what's Eli Gold doing here?
- What?

Eli Gold. He's here. Do you know why?

No idea.

Okay.

- Daughter!
- Father!

Ah. I'm here to help. Put me to work.

Well, I need help lobbying Julius

to put me back on the Lila Royce case.

Already done. In fact,
I am second chairing.

- You're second chairing? What?
- Mm.

Julius made it a condition.

What are you after, Dad?

Oh, my God, suspicious much?

What I'm after is proximity to you.

- I don't believe it.
- Well, believe it.

It's what a father does.

Or so I've read.

Good morning.

How are you feeling?

I'm good.

Wow. I'm really good.

This armrest is so smooth.

Have you noticed?

Touch it.

I'd say this was a pretty
good first session.

Hold on.

Ooh.

Hello, world.

Mmm.

Shall we go into my office
and discuss it?

Would you like some help up?

Mm, I probably don't
need help, but sure.

Was that plant always there?

Our ficus, yes.

Why? What are you seeing?

Elves.

Oh, those are elves.

Plaster elves from my
secretary's daughter.

Tho-Those are a school project.

It's important to stay hydrated
throughout the day, Diane.

Six or seven cups
of water ought to do it.

Have you always used my first name?

I think so.

- Lyle, right?
- That's right.

Would you mind telling me

what you remember from your experience?

Yeah. I was in a prank.

No. I mean park.

Words actually meant the same
backwards as forwards.

Can I have one of those?

Flowers? Certainly.

- Are they real?
- They are.

So, uh, what happened in the park?

Oh, well, um, God, I was very charged.

I was with a man.

Not a man I knew.

Wait. Let me think.

Um, yeah, I was on a p-picnic blanket.

And he had a deep voice.

And it was very beautiful

and erotic, and...

it felt temporary.

Like-like I could blink my eyes,
and it would be gone.

But I didn't mind it.

Something's coming.

Excuse me?

Something's coming. Something big.

There.

Oh, that's from the protests.

Are they here as well?

Yes.

Diane, you're taking a cab
back to the office, right?

- Right-o!
- Good.

You, uh, might experience
some mild vertigo

or confusion.

This number is my cell.

Don't hesitate to call
if you have any issues.

Mm-mm.

Night-blooming jasmine.

? Somethin's coming, somethin' good ?

? If I can wait ?

? Somethin's comin',
I don't know what it is ?

? But it is gonna be great... ?

- Synced and corrected by Firefly -
- www.addic7ed.com -

Ready.

When did you decide that
you couldn't perform at...

Wait. Eli, thought you were doing this?

Oh, I am. I'm playing
the plaintiff's attorney

to check our strategy. Trust us.

Ms. Royce, when did you decide
that you couldn't perform

- in the State of Israel?
- I think

when I became convinced
it was an apar-thide country.

W-What... How did you come to
that conclusion about apartheid?

Um, stuff I read. Podcasts about
the conditions in the Gaza.

Would it be fair to say
that when you agreed

to tour dates in Israel, you had
not yet familiarized yourself

with the political and racial
conditions in the country?

And had you been familiar,
you would not have agreed?

- Never.
- Thank you.

No further questions.

What, specifically,
do you find objectionable

about the conditions in Gaza, Ms. Royce?

Uh, well, the crowding, for starters.

Then you would never perform in Mumbai?

Come on.

Was that an objection, Counselor?

- Badgering. Relevancy.
- Overruled.

So, what, you're plaintiff's
attorney and judge now?

Well, it's not just
the crowding. It's the way

the Palestinians are treated.

They can't travel without showing ID.

And when you go to the airport,
do you not have to show an ID?

- That's completely different.
- What about human rights?

Are you aware of the human
rights record of Hamas?

- She doesn't really have to be.
- Could you be clearer

when you're objecting or just arguing?

"Objection". How's that, Dad?

Should we let you two discuss?

Okay, let's face it.

We are not gonna get out
of this contract

using moral outrage.

No one wins by talking
about Israeli politics.

Wait. I'm losing track, Dad.
Are you the judge now,

or the plaintiff's attorney, or what?

Why don't we let you two discuss? Lila.

? Who could turn the world on
with her smile ?

? Who can take a nothing day ?

? Suddenly make it
just seem worthwhile ?

? Well, it's you, girl ?

- ? And you should know it ?
- Clear back from the street!

- Protestors will be arrested!
- ? With each glance... ?

- Where you going, ma'am?
- Oh, 840 North Dearborn,

22nd floor. Work.

One second.

? No need to waste it... ?

- Diane Lockhart.
- Ri'Chard Lane.

Good morning!

Oh. What?

Good-good morning to you.

Oh. Your suit feels amazing. What is it?

Expensive.

You have a sunflower.

I do. Would you like it?

Uh, no, no. It looks good on you.

Oh, well, let's trade. Here.

Go ahead. Just stay
to the middle of the street.

They told me you were serious, Diane.

You don't seem that serious.

Who told you I was serious?

Well, I don't think
they meant it in a bad way.

I think they meant, um, formal.

We will be firing tear gas!

I've just had a near-death
experience, Ri'Chard,

and it looks like the world
is ending out here,

so what's there to be formal about?

? No need to waste it... ?

Let me ask you, Diane.

Is Liz trying to get you
to team up against me?

? You're gonna make it... ?

Team up? With-with what?

Well, I know she's worried

about being challenged for the top spot,

but we're in this together.

In what?

Rebuilding her father's legacy.

Oh.

- What are we laughing about?
- Oh, no, no.

We're not laughing. I'm laughing.

I just realized that I just
may have the most power

Because I don't have any power.

? Don't you take it... ?

Good.

Let's just keep talking.

Uh, power is all a game of numbers.

Numbers?

I was just thinking about numbers.

I was never good at math.

You know? Numbers... hmm...
they eluded me.

You're a funny one.

- Here, take your flower back.
- Okay.

Your Honor, whatever we think

about Israel's right to exist...

It's not about Israel's right to exist.

It's about security for Lila, her band,

her aged mother who travels with her.

- She doesn't have an aged mother.
- The fuck she doesn't.

Your Honor, security is
a real concern for my client.

Ow!

Keep going. Ignore all distractions.

We believe the plaintiff may have been

less than candid in his assurances.

- Stop doing that.
- Not "we believe", not "may have been".

How many mistakes can you fit
into one sentence?

And stand up straight, for Chrissakes!

Pretend you know
what you're talking about.

Oh, my God.

Is this what my childhood was like?

No. Because I was never home.

Ah, so this is making up for lost time?

- Oh, my God!
- Come on.

Judge is waiting.

My client is a professional singer,

but she's also a young woman
who doesn't feel safe.

Better.

I was really looking forward
to those tour dates.

I've played in Tel Aviv before.

Israel is just such a beautiful country.

In that case, why did you cancel
your concert dates?

Well, I was concerned about security.

Your Honor,

can we please admonish
the plaintiff's attorney

to not snort cynically?

Ms. Howard, hold it in, please.
Please continue.

It's one thing for me to put
myself in a dangerous situation,

but I'm responsible
for everybody who tours with me,

so when I heard

about 400 rockets
hitting Israel every day,

I knew that I had to cancel.

Did you say 400 a day?

- Yes, sir.
- I have been

to the Holy Land more than once
with my church group,

and there were no rockets
falling from the sky.

- Israel is very safe.
- Over ten days last year,

Your Honor, Palestinian
militants launched

over 4,000 rockets into Israel.

That's what I was worried about,
Your Honor.

It was the heaviest rocket attack

- in Tel Aviv's history.
- Objection: counsel is testifying.

Both counsels are testifying.

Why don't we let the witness
answer the question?

Ms. Royce is not an expert on Israel.

Yet here she is, making her own
security assessment.

We would be happy
to document the rocket attacks.

They were all over the news.

I always said you took after me.

I didn't realize how
bad it was last year.

I think

- Deandra's setting you up.
- Aah.

So much for sisterhood.

You might not remember,
but the court started

an on-camera pilot project back then.

What? So she's seen footage
of the Matthews trial?

She's got all of it.

Well, what the hell does she want?

Uh...

Officer Tenny, did you
have a search warrant

to enter the defendant's home?

- Yes, I did.
- And is this the gun...

God, I was big as a house.

How did I stand up and sit down?

Yes, it is.

And is this the ballistics report

on the bullet shells found
at the crime scene?

- I was tougher then.
- Yes, ma'am.

- I sounded tougher.
- Yes, I watched it all.

- You were fierce.
- Mm. It's 'cause

Malcolm kept kicking me.

I was just really taking it out
on the defense.

Here's the problem.

Your witness, Officer Tenny...

eight years later, there were
allegations of misconduct.

He's had 12 convictions
overturned so far.

Tenny doesn't matter.

No, this case was clear.

There was physical evidence.

There is right and wrong.

And there is truth.

Do not let the shiny objects
distract you from the truth.

Are you still going
to let her interview you?

- I don't know.
- Remember,

she can edit it any way she wants.

And I think she wants a story.

And people doing good is not a story.

Do you have any idea how big
a city Tel Aviv is, Ms. Royce?

Objection. Lila isn't here
to answer trivia questions.

What point are you making, Ms. Howard?

Ms. Royce decided not
to travel to Tel Aviv

after rocket attacks in 2021,
rocket attacks

that killed no one.

While here she sits in Chicago,

where 800 people were
murdered last year,

and protests are thundering

- right below our windows.
- Objection, Your Honor.

Why do you even have a witness?
Just let the counselor...

- Counsel is testifying.
- Hold on, hold on.

I'll talk now.

Ask your question, Ms. Howard.

Why do you consider Tel Aviv dangerous,

but Chicago safe?

- Ms. Royce is required to be here.
- You're suing her.

What is she supposed to do?

Can we just have one lawyer object

- over there?
- Do you write

your own tweets, Ms. Royce?

My own tweets? Yes.

In fact, you're proud of it?

- Yes.
- These are tweets from your fans

urging you to stop playing
in Israel for political reasons.

Could you read that tweet there?

"I love you, Lila, but how can
you accept apartheid in Israel?"

My fans can say whatever they want.

But you replied
to that tweet, didn't you?

- Fuck.
- Would you read your reply there?

Um, uh, "My fans mean everything to me.

You make some good points.

I won't be going to Israel".

You cancelled your Israeli tour

the next day, didn't you?

And not because of safety, Your Honor,

but because of her
disapproval of Israel...

the land where Jesus will return.

Okay, we're stuck.

You don't think that'll look desperate,

going back to our first strategy?

Oh, it is desperate.

As with all desperate things in life,

we just have to sell it.

Diane? How are you?

Missing you. When are you coming home?

Your side of the bed is disappearing.

Ah, the NRA wants
to take advantage of Ukraine.

Oh, how lovely.

You seem in a good mood.

I got my lips done.

What do you think?

What is that?

It's a filter. Hello, big boy.

Looks like a cartoon.

Whoa, you're a bandit.

How'd you do that?

I'm the host of this meeting.

I get to do anything I want.

How much have you had to drink tonight?

I haven't had anything to drink.

I'm just...

Come on, cowboy.

Loosen your chaps. Come on.

Baaa. Baaa.

Okay.

I think I need to come home.

Yes, you do. You need
to come home right now.

I'm waiting.

Oh, uh, my conference call
is coming through.

I'll call you.

Oh.

There you are.

So, wait a minute. You're
changing your story, Ms. Royce?

I'm saying I was both
worried about safety,

and I had ethical concerns about Israel.

But your views on Israel are
a relatively recent development,

- aren't they?
- Objection.

What difference does it make
how recent they are?

Your Honor, may I speak?

Go ahead.

I know I'm not an expert on politics.

Music is my life, and for a long time,

I tried to keep politics
out of it, but that was naive.

I have a platform,

and a platform... it's a gift.

And I want to use it
to make the world better.

Do you know 1 Peter 4:10, Your Honor?

- Mm.
- Um...

"Each of you shall use
whatever gifts you've received

to serve others".

I know that I might be late
to some of these issues,

but that's all I was trying to do...

use the gifts I've received
to serve others.

Did you feed her that line?

I take after you.

- Hello?
- Hi.

- Who are you?
- Julius Cain, Liz's lawyer.

Oh, Liz, you don't need a lawyer.

Unfortunately, it is firm policy.

Before you continue filming,
I was hoping we could clarify

a few things. The firm
would like to know

exactly what it is you're after.

Uh, I don't understand.

Well, is your, uh, project actually

about Black female attorneys,
or was that a lie?

It wasn't a lie.

Every documentary takes on
a life of its own.

You look at the footage, it
tells you what it wants to be.

Hmm. What does this one want to be?

I intended for this to be a film

about Black female attorneys, as I said.

But with the material I've gathered

concerning the Matthews case,
it's become an investigation

of prosecutorial misconduct.

When were you going to tell me?

Today.

Well, that doesn't interest us.

Liz, if I were you,
I would take the opportunity

to defend myself.

We've got a lot of evidence
that doesn't look good.

Diane Lockhart.

Eli Gold. I heard you were
somewhere around here.

You're downstairs. What happened?

Oh, um, just a... a general reshuffling.

And I hear Peter
Florrick's back in jail?

Another reshuffling?

Yeah. I don't think he's gonna
come back from this one.

- And Alicia?
- Oh, she's still in the law.

She started her own firm
in New York. It's doing well.

You're not in touch with her?

No, no, that didn't end well.

You sound sad.

I do, don't I?

That's-that's rather sudden.

The world?

Yeah. Oh...

It's hard to keep it out.

Eli, what is today's date?

It's September 15.

Why?

Wow. My mother died today.

Oh, my God. Diane, I'm so sorry.

No, I mean on this date.

20 years ago.

Yeah.

She was a funny lady. She, uh...

She... ?

Diane?

Diane.

You okay?

Yes. Y-Yes.

I'm just trying to see my life
from another perspective,

and I... uh, I think I'm seeing it.

How does it look?

Small.

I'm needed in court.

Oh, yeah. Thank you
for-for stopping by, Eli.

Yeah.

Oh.

Hi, Doctor. Thank you
for returning my call.

Um, I...

seem to be having an issue.

What kind of an issue?
Something with the medication?

Plaintiff would like
to introduce into evidence

Ms. Royce's upcoming tour dates.

Can you confirm that
this is your schedule?

- Where did you get this?
- Can you confirm it?

I don't memorize my schedule.

Can you at least confirm that,
so far as you know,

you will be performing in China?

In Shanghai, Beijing and Xi'an?

Objection. Again, relevance.

This case is about concert dates
in Tel Aviv, not in Shanghai.

The question goes to the scope
of Ms. Royce's moral qualms.

Overruled. The witness may answer.

Are you playing concerts in China?

I think so. Haven't announced
the tour dates yet.

How is it you have
moral objections to Israel,

but not to China, Ms. Royce?

Because China doesn't
oppress Palestinians!

Do they?

Are you aware that China has placed

over one million Muslims
in concentration camps?

- What?
- Did you know that the Chinese government

has viciously cracked down
on democracy activists

- in Hong Kong?
- I was really not aware.

How is it you're outraged by Israel,

the only democracy in the Middle East,

but totally comfortable
with authoritarian China?

Your Honor, we move for a recess
to confer with our client.

To coach your client, more like.

- Objection.
- This is the first

I've heard of these concert dates.

I'd like to confirm them
before this line

of questioning proceeds any further.

Ms. Royce herself says the dates
haven't even been announced yet.

Maybe Ms. Royce held off announcing

her China concerts because she knows

they make her look like a hypocrite.

All right, Ms. Howard,
you've made your point.

We'll return tomorrow.

So, she canceled Israel,
but she's still going to China?

Look, we just need to confirm
if these dates are true.

Seems pretty hypocritical to me. Hmm.

Well, what country doesn't
have some corruption?

Where are artists supposed
to perform? Not in Florida.

- Guys, I just need confirmation.
- But China? Come on.

It's genocide. The Uyghurs
are being forcibly sterilized.

When did Lila become
so political anyway?

- Right.
- Israel's occupation of Palestine

is directly connected to money
and power in this country.

- Oh, my God.
- Look, the point is that

- Jews have a lot of power and money.
- Seriously?

- Okay. What?
- Oh, my God.

How are you doing
on those Protocols of Zion?

- Thank you!
- Okay, well, then, so,

why don't you guys prove
that it's not true?

- Oh, my God.
- Don't get me started on

- Black-Jewish relations.
- Excuse me?

- What?
- Jewish people played a big role in civil rights.

- You got to give 'em that.
- And funded the slave trade.

- What?
- And what about the Crown Heights Riot?

Forced labor! One million
Uyghurs being forced

- to pick cotton.
- Cotton?

- That is not true!
- It is. Look online.

Okay. Thank you, guys.

I think I've got this.

Uh, can I take the case
when you're done?

The Lila case. Can I take it?

What are you talking about?

Oh. Uh, nothing.

Maybe you didn't...

Nothing.

I'm still not finding anything.

I think I'd better call Lila's manager.

What's going on, Dad?

I'm just checking to see if
those Chinese dates were real.

No. An associate just asked
if she could have the case

once I'm off it. What's that mean?

Julius said that
your Judge Wackner stuff

put you in a bad position with the firm.

- "My" Judge Wackner...
- They're looking for an excuse

to dump you, so we've got to
keep pushing forward with this.

Oh, my God. I've been a lawyer
for a week, and I've been fired.

You're not fired. You're-you're...

you're a new lawyer.
You're... you're learning.

Oh, baby.

I'm just tired. I really want
to be good at this.

You are good at it.

It's just so hard.

Hmm.

I'm going to tell you something

I first told you in the third grade.

Life is hard

because people are assholes.

Ms. Minton, I have no patience
left for games.

Exactly what kind of evidence
do you think you have

with this Matthews case?

The friendship bracelet.
Found in the hallway.

The issue was never resolved
at the time. It's a huge

- question mark.
- That sounds like

a low-rent game of Clue.
Is that all you have?

Officer Tenny. Did you know
he was corrupt at the time?

- Of course not.
- Someone's suggesting you did know.

From an interview I did
with a coworker of yours.

I told Liz.

I felt I had to warn her about Tenny...

that he had a bad reputation.

Did he? Warn you?

Hello, Brian.

I knew I shouldn't have
talked to that girl.

You totally threw me under the bus.

- I didn't, I swear.
- Telling her

that I knew that Officer
Tenny was corrupt?

That-That's not what I said.

Not exactly. But come on, Liz.

We talked about how sketchy
Tenny was back then.

- And we were right.
- But we didn't know.

Otherwise, we would have
never have used him.

That's what I said in my interview.

We knew the evidence was strong.

Our case was good. I told her
you would never play dirty.

You never did.

You said that?

Of course I did. It's the truth.

Yeah. Well, I don't think
she's going to use that part.

I'm sorry.

I would never do anything
to hurt you intentionally.

Just unintentionally.

Hey, you got out.

You run a big firm now.

Okay.

Then you need to get me access
to that old case file.

I don't know.

Brian! You owe me.

Of course we arranged a concert
in China. A goodwill concert.

Art and music are the best way
to bring people together.

Is this contract ironclad?

- Is there no exception for moral qualms?
- No!

But even if there were,
we don't want out of this.

Lila has 13 million more fans in China.

Well, she can't play China
if we're claiming

she has moral objections to Israel.

Of course she can. Just 'cause Lila

doesn't like one injustice doesn't mean

she has to hate all injustice.

- China is worse than Israel.
- That's your perspective.

Lila, have you heard about
the concentration camps?

Hold on. You're her lawyers,
not her guardian angels.

We can't win this
unless we are consistent.

Lila brings a message of peace with her.

You want her to negate
a third of her audience?

Lila, this is all just about
making money in China.

No, not money. People don't
make money in China.

People make fortunes in China.

So money cleanses
everything? Is that it?

No. Money only cleanses
everything if it's enough money.

Look, China's bad.

So is Israel. So is America.

We're all on the same page,
and Lila's an artist.

So... let her sing her truth.

Objection, Your Honor!

Misstates the evidence
and lacks a question.

Memory is weird.

You see his smile?

When I saw that, it all came back.

- What did?
- The other cops,

including the one that I was
married to at the time...

they all talked about Tenny.

Well, there's always talk.

Yeah, but what if...

What if I brushed it all off

because I needed the police
to do their job

so that I could succeed at mine?

Liz, you can't attack your younger self

with information that
y-you're only getting now.

If I did that, I'd never get out of bed.

He was corrupt.

Well, did you know that then?

Or does it only feel
like you should have?

Oh, 'cause... What do I do?

Do I... do I continue this
interview, or do I stop?

What's up, Lila-ites?

I'm just wondering, like,
why are people so mean?

I just read some really
triggering posts about China,

about the Uyghurs and
a tennis player and some actors.

And I'm just feeling like...

we need to do better.

Love you all. Peace and love.

We did not know, Bo.

Fuck you. It doesn't matter if
you knew. You made her do this.

Your girl posted that video on her own.

We were not consulted,
we did not advise.

Did you not think
of having a conversation

regarding the subject?

- What subject? China?
- Yes! China!

You don't like the way the
Israelis treat the Palestinians,

the way the Serbs treat
the Croats, or the way

the Eskimos treat
the baby fucking seals,

blow off those dates, but do not...

do not fuck with China!

But did it not bother you,
never finding out

who the owner of that
friendship bracelet was?

That person was
potentially another suspect.

There was never anything that suggested

that the bracelet had anything to do

- with Stephen Matthews or the murder.
- But it did

suggest someone else might've
been present at some point.

In a hallway in an apartment
building. Entirely possible.

So there are unanswered questions.

Deandra, what are you doing?

- I'm trying to find the truth.
- No, you're not.

You're not,

because if the truth

really mattered to you,
you wouldn't have

lied to me when you first got here...

calling me a role model and using

our sorority sisterhood bonds
so that you could get me

to lower my guard
so that you could do to me

- what they've been doing to Kamala.
- Look, I admit

I didn't share everything with you,

but sometimes, justice requires you...

You are not here for justice.

You're here about entertainment,
and you know how I know?

Because we're not even talking
about Officer Tenny

and whether he lied.

Because you're so fixated
on a fucking friendship bracelet

that was found 50 feet
from the crime scene,

even though there was
a mountain of evidence

right at the suspect's feet.

Why? Because it's visual.

Because you want the audience to think

that you found something
that everybody else overlooked.

So, congratulations. You found QAnon.

Can I talk now?

You know, you're a very
smart young woman,

and you could do a lot of good
in this world.

But you're not doing the truth.

The phone call that
didn't get connected,

or-or the dog that barked a mile away...

all of these are irrelevant.

Life is filled with irrelevant shit.

But you... you're trying
to shove it all together

to make us believe

that someone that the jury found
guilty was wrongly convicted.

You know, I-I would actually
have more respect for you

if you thought you were
righting a wrong.

- I am. I...
- No, you're not.

Because if you were,

you wouldn't be fixated on all
the visual pieces of evidence.

So you know what?

Here's the old case file.

Read it,

review it,

and then we'll talk.

Don't steal from me.

Okay.

Um, can you tell me
how I'm stealing from you?

You are not Carmen's mentor. I am.

I was just noticing how little

- you and Carmen care for each other.
- I work

with a lot of people that
I don't necessarily care for.

- Back off.
- My mistake.

I am officially backing the fuck off.

You know, we need to figure out
how we're gonna work together.

Please.

Oh, yeah, my mom used
to make Pie Crust Cookies, too.

Yeah?

Have one.

Thank you.

Hmm-mm.

No. These are store-bought.

No, they are not.

You cannot fake your way through
this. These are store-bought.

Uh, can you step out a sec?

How do we work together?

By being truthful.

And how do we do that?

Don't treat me like an idiot.

I can see right through you.

Being partners is a numbers game.

So, don't go after Diane,
I am Carmen's mentor,

and you can have your
15 associates, and that's it.

Okay.

- Let's pray.
- Oh, yes. Dear Lord,

Father God, dear Lord, help us

to work together to bring this
firm to even greater success.

Dear Lord, help Ri'Chard
to know his place.

And help him to see
that I am not the enemy.

And, dear Lord, help us to work together

that we may advance Your will.

In Jesus' name we pray.

- Amen.
- Amen.

Now don't fuck with me.

We represent Lila Royce's record label.

Are you her responsible attorneys?

- Actually...
- What do you want?

We need Lila to make a formal apology

to the Chinese people.

- That's not gonna happen.
- We'll provide the text.

Any changes to the text will
have to be approved in advance.

Did you not hear what she just said?

I did. Said apology

will be prerecorded on video

and played across all platforms
currently authorized

by the Chinese government.

What's the gist of this apology?

That her recent statements

demonstrated a lack of understanding

regarding China's ethnic minorities,

a lack of understanding common
in former colonial powers.

That she has come to understand
that the government of China

is acting in the best interests
of all its citizens

and supports a spirit of friendship

with the West while
rejecting any attempt

to interfere
with internal Chinese policies.

- That's total bullshit.
- Should she refuse

to deliver this apology,

her recording contract will be renewed

per the one-way option
currently held by the label,

but no recordings will be
either made or released.

She will be prevented from
signing with any other label

for a period of 11 years.

I guess you don't mind
getting sued, do you?

Not a bit.

Lila will never do it.
She's got her principles,

and she won't be bullied...

What's up, Lila-ites?

I was a bit too hasty with my last post.

I did a little more research,

and I've fallen in love
with China again.

I love the people, I love the history,

and I love the fans,

which is why I will be
performing in China,

the most beautiful country in the world.

My little girl, a counselor-at-law.

Who didn't win.

Your client was happy.
That's all that matters.

I suppose it's appropriate

that a case involving Israel
ended in a settlement.

I know I was tough on you, but...

listen, I was very impressed
with how you handled yourself.

Dad, you don't have to say
something just to be nice.

When did I ever do that?

You're a damn good lawyer, Marissa.

So good, I'd like to hire you.

What?

I'd like you to join my legal team.

For what?

Some little matter I have to deal with.

A-A campaign thing. Uh...

I'm being indicted for fraud.

- That's what this was all about?
- There was

the possibility you might be subpoenaed,

but now that you're my lawyer,
you can't be.

- Oh, my God. And I thought you were real.
- I am real.

You just did this so that
I couldn't be subpoenaed?

Marissa... you matter to me.

No, I don't. My testimony
matters to you.

- We're family, baby.
- When you need me.

Well, it's a good thing
I always need you.

See you tomorrow, babe.

Babe?

And the-the expression

on her face when I told her
to read the damn file.

I'm not gonna lie.

That felt good.

Here's to saving the world

- from one more lousy documentary.
- Yeah.

Mm.

Are you all right?

My mother died at my age.

Well, then, she died young.

I'd forgotten she was my age
until this morning,

and now I can't get the thought
out of my head.

Mm.

No one said she died young.

Well, but "young" and "old"
don't mean the same thing

that they used to.

And-and nobody is younger
than Diane Lockhart.

Diane?

God, I just remembered
I'm not supposed to drink.

Why?

I'm on medication.

Are you dizzy?

No.

Okay.

I got to go home.
