[indistinct radio chatter]

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.

STUDIO TECH [over radio]:
Can you hear me, sir?

ADRIAN:
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.

[clears throat]

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.

STUDIO TECH:
Thank you, sir.

That's it?

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

[chuckles softly]

[elevator bell dings]

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. [laughs]

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

JULIUS:
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,

[chuckles]:
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.

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

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

Um...

KUZMA:
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.

[chuckles]: All right.
[knock on glass]

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?
ALL: 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?

[chuckles]
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.
[growls]

[laughs]

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.
ADRIAN: 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."

ADRIAN [over TV]:
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.

[laughs]:
Okay.

[sighs]

[door opens]

[news theme music playing
over laptop]

[door closes]

[laptop closes, music stops]

[sighs]

[over laptop]:
Lawyers have had this coming
for a long time. And...

No workstations available?

Uh... [chuckles]

I got here too late.

Quick question.
[clears throat]

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.
[taps desk]

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.

[sighs]

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.

[chuckles]

So much in common.
Ready to spar?

SHERIFF: 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.

[laughter]
AMBER: 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.

ADRIAN: 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?

WOMAN:
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?

[quietly]:
Oh, God.

HONEYCUTT:
Yes.

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

[voice breaking]:
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?

[sobs] No.

She's trying
to provoke you.

Don't take the bait.
Mm-hmm.

ADRIAN:
Mrs. Honeycutt,

I'm really sorry
for your loss.

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

HONEYCUTT:
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.
[gavel banging]

[clears throat]

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.

ADRIAN:
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.

[elevator bell dings]
Pain and suffering.

[lively chatter]

DIANE:
Jesus, it's everybody.

ADRIAN:
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.

ADRIAN: Looks like they're
pretending to be diverse.

We're about to see why
jackals never meet.

ARCHER: Let's not

I think we can all spare

None of us are struggling.

[others chuckle]
[clears throat]

FRANZ: 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.

[others murmuring]
JONATHAN: 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.

JONATHAN: That's right.
Rahm won't touch this.

His deputy might.

Warren Hesseman.
FRANZ: 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.

JONATHAN:
Problem solved.
There you go.

Good thought, Adrian.

STUDIO TECH:
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?

[chuckles]
I'm the young, angry activist.

You're the older...

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

if we both
stick to our lanes.

Huh.
Okay?

[chuckles softly]

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

That was fun last time.
Good viral clips.

Keep it up.

Thanks.

[news theme music playing]

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,
[Chuck laughs]

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.
[Chuck laughs]

CHUCK: 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.

[clears throat]

[elevator doors close]

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.
[chuckles]

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.

AMBER: 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.
AMBER: 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.

AMBER:
Thank you, Dennis.

[quietly]: Jesus. God.
No further questions.

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

ADRIAN:
Mr. Honeycutt.

[clears throat]

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.

AMBER:
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.

ADRIAN:
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.

[laughter]
AMBER:
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.

ADRIAN: 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.

ADRIAN:
Fine.

The witness probably needs
a new disguise anyhow.

[applause]

[indistinct chatter,
phones ringing in distance]

MARISSA: 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.

DIANE: 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!
Ah! [laughs]
You may have wondered

why I haven't yet told anyone.

It was only
to prepare some contingencies.

DIANE:
Uh, may we interrupt?

Yeah, of course.

Congratulations!
Congratulations!

[laughing]
You look wonderful.

Thank you.

[clears throat]

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, [chuckles]

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

Noted.

DIANE: 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.

FRANZ: 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.
FRANZ: 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.

[murmurs of dissent]

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!

[others grumbling]

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.

FRANZ: 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?

LUCCA:
The defense moves

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

JUDGE:
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.

[phone vibrates]

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.

[dialing]

Diane.

There's something with Franz
Mendelssohn you should know.

Seriously?

That's great, Marissa.
Fantastic work.

Okay, talk to you later.

[laughter]
ADRIAN: Right?

AMBER:
Your Honor!

The defense has
rolled its eyes.

Unintended, Your Honor.

Sometimes my eyes have
a mind of their own.

[laughter]
JUDGE: 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.

ADRIAN:
Mr. Kuzma,

where did you find
Dennis Honeycutt's address?

Oh, it's in the phone book.

It's in the phone book?

KUZMA: 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.
[gavel bangs]

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.
AMBER: He's trading on

his punditry, Your Honor.

No, I am being an advocate.

JUDGE:
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.

DIANE:
Should he remain seated?
[sighs]

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.

[chuckles] Wait till you
hear what Marissa found out.

ADRIAN:
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.

FRANZ: Adrian, do
you have something

to contribute?

No.

ARCHER:
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.

[laughs loudly]

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...

JONATHAN: Of course it has
everything to do with it!

FRANZ: 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.
[murmurs of agreement]

Excuse us.
Thank you.

ARCHER: Oh, boy, oh, boy.
AMBER: How disappointing.

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

What have you two decided?

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

[sighs]

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...
[stammers]
He wants me off the case

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

That's...

[sighs]

Mr. Morrello, it's your turn.

Share your thinking.

I asked for the...

Your Honor...
[clears throat]

I asked
for the continuance

because we,
the Department of Justice,

need more time
to prepare our case.
[chuckles]

[clears throat]

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. [clears throat]
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.

COLIN:
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.

COLIN: 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.

[under breath]:
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.

[mutters, chuckles]

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?

LACEY:
No, but I know of him.

I burned his house down.

[gallery murmuring]

Okay, let's keep
our voices down.

ADRIAN: How'd you find
his house, Lacey?

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.

JUDGE:
Okay.

Anything, Ms. Wood Lutz?

Just a recess, Your Honor.

Recess for lunch.

[grunts]

$300,000.

No.

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

Well-played.

[phone ringing]

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.

[sighs]

So, what happened to J.D.?

You did.

[knock at door]

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.

CHUCK: 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?

CARDIGAN:
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.
[news theme music playing]

[laughs]:
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...

[laughing]

[laughing]

[sighs]

Fuck you.

Was I angry enough for you?

I don't think
he likes me.

Good job.
