Please raise your right hand

and repeat after me:

I, Donald John Trump,
do solemnly swear...

I, Donald John Trump,

do solemnly swear...

that I will faithfully execute...

that I will faithfully execute...

the Office of President of the...

Those of you unclear about the schedule,

today's portion of the exam
will consist of two sections.

You will have three hours
to complete each one.

Anything that's unclear on the exam...

What? What's wrong?

I'm a lawyer.

Oh, babe.

Oh, my God!

I'm a lawyer!

I'm a lawyer. Oh, my God.

I'm resigning.

To go where?

Nowhere.

I'm retiring.

Oh, my God.

When?

Two weeks.

I don't want to leave you in the lurch.

So, I'll just, uh, finish
out the Kendall case.

Why are you doing this?

We're top heavy.

Eight name partners.

I'm ready to live my life.

Write a memoir, take a deep breath.

Well...

congratulations, Diane.

Thank you, David.

Good morning. Lockhart,
Deckler, Gussman, Lee,

Lyman, Gilbert-Lurie, Kagan,
Tannebaum & Associates,

how may I direct your call?

I heard they fire half
of us in the first month.

Oh, yeah, yeah, I heard that, too.

We should stick together.

Uh, I'm Lili.

Maia.

Uh, pretty ring. What is it?

Oh, it's a rosary ring.

Are you religious?

No, no.

Just nervous.

Stand up!

Those seats are for clients.

Follow me and try to keep up.

Lockhart, Deckler, Lee
is the result of a merger

of three mid-sized firms.

We are now the largest civil
litigator in the Midwest,

and you are lucky to be here.

As new associates, you
can be fired at any time,

and many of you will be.

Look at the person next to you.

They are your competitor.

Do better then them, or you're gone.

This is not lawyer camp.

We are not here to help you learn.

You are here to help us.

If a partner needs their dry-cleaning,

treat it like a clerkship
for Justice Kennedy.

Any questions?

This is a depo dump.

We need to know what
is in every one of these

85,632 documents.

Come forward when I call your name.

Michael Baer.

- Uh, where do I work?
- David Yoo.

Jodie Bashar.

Lili Brenner.

Maia...

Maia Rindell?

How are you doing, Maia?

- Good.
- No, no, no,

here, you take these.

Say hello to your
parents for me, will you?

Sure.

Oh, by the way, this
came for you this morning.

Burl Ferrand.

Rebecca Luzzatto.

Mom.

Please don't send me
anything else, okay?

Um, I appreciate it, you know I do,

but, uh, it's making me look, um...

I don't know, entitled.

Are people not being nice to you, dear?

No, Mom, they're being great.

It's the attention.

You know, I want to just... blend in.

Do you want me to ask Diane
to put you in your own office?

No, Mom, no, please, okay?

Are you sure?

- Because we can call Diane.
- No. Everything is fine.

All right, we got to go.

And, uh, I'll check in with Diane later.

No, Mom-Mom, it's okay.

Love you, sweetheart.

Good morning.

Lockhart, Deckler, Gussman, Lee, Lyman,

Gilbert-Lurie, Kagan...

Enough with the lilies.

You know, some of us have allergies.

Oh, I'm actually a new associate here.

Good for you.

Just go tell your head florist...

no more lilies.

Maia Rindell?

Don't touch anything.

And don't sit.

Maia.

- How you doing?
- Good.

- Your first day as a lawyer.
- Good. Mm.

Your parents called.

- Oh, God, I told them not to.
- No, it's all right.

They're worried you
might be being ostracized.

Oh, they have got to stop.

- Really...
- It's okay.

There is an empty office
downstairs that I can...

- No, no, please.
- Oh, come on,

- I-I don't want anything.
- come on...

let your godmother
spoil you a little bit.

Diane, please.

Okay.

- Oh, God, you've grown.
- Oh, really?

Oh, I feel like I've shrunk.

- How's Amy?
- Good, good.

- She's up for a bureau chief position.
- I heard.

Listen, I have something for you.

This was given to me by Pearl Hart,

the first female public
defender in Chicago.

Now it's yours.

Seriously?

I'm retiring. You're starting.

It's fitting. Like a baton.

Now it's your turn to carry it.

- Oh, I haven't done anything yet.
- I hadn't, either.

This will force you to, okay?

Let's make the most of my
two weeks left of mentoring.

Take notes on this deposition.

Afterwards, I'll ask you
what you think we should offer

as a settlement.

Lucca.

Ms. Lockhart. Hello.

I didn't know you joined
Reddick and Boseman.

- Four months ago.
- Oh.

Alicia, too?

- No, just me.
- Well, congratulations.

- Shall we get started here, or do we...
- Diane, sorry I'm late.

Judge Monroe stopped me in the elevator.

How is everyone?

Diane, I feel so bad.

I heard you're retiring.

It's terrible. You're
gonna lose your last case.

Mr. Boseman, how unexpected.

So, which side am I on here?

Eeny...

meeny... miny...

Okay.

Someone help!

- Leave him alone!
- Ow, I'm sick!

- Leave him alone!
- I'm sick! Let me up!

Let me up...

You shot that video,
didn't you, Mr. Hunter?

- Yes.
- Would you tell us what you saw?

- I saw these cops tackling Toby.
- And that would be

Mr. Toby Kendall, the victim right here?

- Objection as to "victim."
- Really, Diane?

The gentleman's in a wheelchair;
his parents have to feed him.

Now what do you want
me to call him, um...

- "happy participant"?
- "Arrestee" is good by me.

No, you can preserve your
objection for the record,

but that right there is no "arrestee."

Stop! Stop! Stop it!

Stop!

That kick to Toby Kendall's head,

that was completely
unprovoked, am I right?

Yeah. Toby just lay there.

All yours, Diane.

You keep referring to
the plaintiff as "Toby".

Do you know Toby? Are you friends?

Should I ask Mr. Boseman if he
wants to answer that question?

Objection.

Okay, let me ask you again.

- Do you know Toby?
- He's a friend.

And were you together that night...

- trying to break into cars?
- We didn't break into anything.

- Because you were caught,
- Objection.

- Before you could...
- He's already answered the question.

Adrian, why don't you sit down?

Because I'm too passionate.

Oh, okay.

Uh, Mr. Hunter, this video.

Adrian, would you mind rewinding?

- Sure.
- Thanks.

Is this...

the beginning of the recording here?

Yeah, what-what do you mean?

This is where you turned
on your camera, right here?

My cell phone, yeah.

There was no other
footage before this moment?

Diane, what do you have?

Let's not sandbag here.

Did you know that your video

has metadata attached to it?

Even if you try to erase it,

the metadata tells us that

there is one minute
and 20 seconds missing

- from the head of it.
- Objection!

Well?

$4 million.

Why?

The video.

It's bad.

We've been asked to keep the
settlement under $500,000.

- By...
- Cook County.

They fired their last civil
law firm for being profligate.

Oh, here they come.

Just play the radical.

Come on, I'm bad at it.

Are you kidding?

You scare me.

Not with Diane.

She'll know.

- You are robbing the taxpayers.
- No, Diane, no,

you're implying that this
so-called missing video

- shows something nefarious.
- I'm not saying anything

other than what the
police report states.

Come on, Diane, you know
you got to give up something.

- $140,000.
- Oh, come on.

Cook County will no longer
have a gun put to its head

- with these lawsuits.
- Seriously... gun to its head?

How nice to be able to talk in metaphors

when people like our clients
have a literal gun to their head.

Look, Diane, I understand

you want to impress your new
client with your toughness,

but look at the optics.

You got three cops...
three white cops...

kicking the crap out
of this defenseless kid.

Yes, this poor, innocent car thief.

So that's your strategy?
Blame the victim?

No, this is our strategy.

Your firm has personally enriched itself

to the tune of $180 million

with these police brutality cases.

You are robbing the tax dollars

coming from the city's most vulnerable

African-American communities...

Diane, when did you get so cynical?

You should be on this
side of the table, not...

We're both using this case, Lucca.

Why don't you just stick to the facts?

Okay, all right.

We'll come down to $4
million, but that's it.

And I'll go up to $400,000.

We'll see you tomorrow, Diane.

- Can I ask something?
- Sure, go ahead.

Are we on the right side on this one?

We are on a necessary side.

People I thought with
all my heart were guilty

turned out to be innocent.

And people I thought were saints...

they, um, they weren't.

That's why you don't go on instinct.

You wait, you listen...

and watch.

Eventually, everyone reveals themself.

Hey, we're pooling our
resources. You want to join?

No, it's all right. Thanks.

Where were you?

I'm only a third of
the way through this.

A partner just gave me an assignment,

and I can pull another
associate onto it.

You want to do it?

- Yes!
- Yeah? Okay.

Wait, hey... wait a
second, wait a second.

It's a pose. That's all.

They will come up.

We don't want to bury too
much time in this, Adrian.

Barbara, look,

Cook County, they're trying to
break our backs on this thing.

We bend here,

they use it against us on the next suit.

Lucca?

You know Diane. Will
she come up in her offer?

I think Diane's got something to prove

- and she's out to prove it.
- So what?

I have something to prove.

We all have something to prove.

- She's retiring?
- Yes.

She wants to go out with a win.

Let's get her up to a million,
and move on to the next.

No, Barbara, she wants
to cave. I'm telling you.

We'll talk when you
get her to a million.

Lucca,

where was the support? Huh?

I was asked a question, that's all.

Yeah, you don't think
I can take Diane down?

No, I just think I'm not
helping. What is this?

Ask for CFO Kendrick, with the accent.

Oh, come on.

I'm getting held up
at the corporate level.

She'll raise her tone.

- Come on, help me out.
- Mr. Boseman, I...

Yes, hello.

Adrian Boseman calling for Mr. Kendrick.

Well, he'd love to talk
to him now if he could.

He's just popping out to lunch.

Thank you.

Okay.

That was fantastic!

After graduating

- from law school with honors,
- _

Diane became an assistant
district attorney.

She made her reputation as someone

who fought hard for the truth,

- and after five years...
- Oh, my God,

was I ever that young?

I can't believe you're
leaving us, Diane.

Oh, not in spirit.

If you ever think of coming back,

you don't go anywhere else first.

I promise, Renee.

Wait a minute...

- you promised me.
- Oh, Ethan.

We have partners I'd throw out
the door to make room for you.

Wow. Well, it's...
it's good to be wanted.

Thank you for coming.

Hi. Lenore!

- Oh, look at you.
- Wow, wow.

Congrats.

Maia tells us what a
great mentor you are.

Oh, she's such a doll. I love her.

By the way, uh, Glenn's
been trying to reach you.

We're running out of time
on the Provence house.

- Hmm.
- Oh, my God, I am so jealous.

Provence!

Yeah, but only if I
make the down payment.

Well, yes, I wanted to get
my ducks in a row first.

You know, your investments are
working so well for you, Diane,

I was wondering if it's not
smarter to borrow the money,

and leave it in the fund.

Oh, well let me discuss
it with Glenn, but...

um, do give him a call.

He's not a bad guy and
he's feeling a bit ignored.

Yeah, accountants tend to feel ignored.

Hello, darling.

Oh, the power couple.

Congratulations.

So when are you two getting married?

Mom, no!

Why? There's no Supreme
Court excuse anymore.

Have you talked to your uncle?

- Who, Jax? No.
- Mm.

He didn't talk to you about the fund?

No, why?

Nothing, just you two are so close.

If he calls you and asks
you to talk to anyone,

call me first, okay?

What's going on, Dad?

Nothing, you know Jax, he
tends to talk kind of wild.

- I don't want to make everyone crazy.
- Okay.

- Good night, honey.
- Good night.

- This is so exciting.
- Lucca!

Please give your name and
occupation for the record, sir.

Andrew Theroux. CPD.

- Three years on duty.
- Is this you on the video, sir?

Yeah, but that's not the whole thing.

You'll get a chance to
explain. What is that?

- My uniform.
- No, that...

There.

Oh. Uh, my bodycam.

Your IP68.

It was given to all Cook County
officers three years ago...

in order to prevent lawsuits
exactly like this one.

Is there a question
here or just a statement?

So, Officer Theroux,

where is your bodycam video
recording of this encounter?

It, um, it wasn't turned on.

- I'm sorry, what?
- You heard.

In fact, there were three of you there,

and all three of your bodycams

were turned off.

What?

Do you see that car in the background?

My parents own one just like it.

It's not the car they
were breaking into.

I know, but, uh,

well, do you see the perimeter light on?

That's what happens
when someone bumps it.

It has four perimeter cameras,

and they automatically record
and save to its hard drive.

You're saying if we contact
the owner of that car,

they'll have a video of this encounter?

It's on its hard drive.

They can't erase it.

Good work!

Zoe, ask the investigator
to come up here.

Good job!

- Thanks.
- I like these daisies

much better than the lilies.

Hey, what's up?

What?

They have a warrant.

They're searching our apartment.

They're asking if we
have a joint bank account.

- What? Why?
- I don't know.

They've impounded our computers

and they're looking for documents

on your parents' business.

I think it's about your dad.

Check this out.

Excuse me, gentlemen, can
you put that down please?

Ma'am, we need you to get off the phone.

I'm an assistant state's attorney, sir.

I have the right to use my cell phone.

We'll discuss your rights
after you hang up your phone.

Maia, I have to call you back.

Dad, the FBI are searching my apartment.

They say it's about
you. What's going on?

We couldn't hold him down.

He was definitely
hopped-up on something.

- There's no way...
- So, you're saying

Mr. Kendall was high on PCP?

Yes. He was crazed,

- grabbing for our guns.
- How could you...

Your accountant is on the line.

Tell him I'll call him back.

He says it's important.

That we're trained to recognize.

When we saw how he was acting...

Dad!

Oh, my God.

Go see your mom. It's okay.

- Oh, Dad.
- Sweetheart, listen to me.

- Everything's gonna be fine, I promise.
- I know.

- I love you. I didn't do it, Maia.
- I know, I know!

Glenn, what's going on?

Is it the house?

No, what?

When?

I don't understand, I just...

Many on Wall Street are asking,

is Henry Rindell the new Madoff?

Earlier today, the FBI shuttered

the invitation-only investment fund,

calling it a multibillion
dollar Ponzi scheme,

whose collapse has
decimated the accounts

of many of the nation's liberal elites.

Glenn, what about my...

my retirement money?

Fuck!

This makes the operation
seem profitable and legitimate

even though no actual
profit is being made.

- You've been working out.
- Yeah.

With someone not me.

You were busy.

With $8.3 billion in assets,

it'll be the fourth largest
Ponzi scheme in America...

- I know her.
- Who, her?

I hope you didn't have any
money wrapped up with them.

My aunt did.

God, I'd sure hate to be her right now.

Talk about the most
hated person in America.

Ponzi schemes are
run by a central operator,

who uses the money from
new incoming investors

to pay off the promised
returns to older ones...

Shuddered at the invitation
of the investment fund,

calling it a multibillion-dollar

- Ponzi scheme...
- Lenore?

- Rupert?
- Hey!

Did you see him?

Yes, yes, yes.

Henry is fine.

- Good, good.
- Hey, Maia.

- Amy. I'm glad you're both here.
- What's going on?

Your dad needs your help.

Your Uncle Jax made
a deal with the feds.

Oh, my God, he's a monster.

What's he saying?

- That Henry created the Ponzi scheme.
- Oh, my...

Jax claims he had
nothing to do it with it.

He was just a fig leaf
for Henry's scam. Come on.

That is insane. That
doesn't even make sense.

Jax traded stocks.

We were just the ambassadors.

That's why it's important
that we all agree

on our understanding here.

Starting with you two. Maia?

Maia?

- Yeah.
- We need your help.

You were on the board of the foundation.

Oh, my God, is he saying that
the foundation is part of this?

No. He's saying the
money was parked there

to hide it during audits.

So, Maia, there are signatures

each one of the money transfers.

I need you to take a look at them.

Actually, we should go.

What? No, no. Why?

We shouldn't be here for this. Let's go.

What are you talking
about? I just need Maia

to initial these documents.

Rupert.

You're Henry and Lenore's
lawyer, not Maia's.

- Well, I'm the family lawyer.
- That's not true.

Why are you arguing with him?

It is true. Maia.

Dad needs your help. He's in trouble.

Maia, just look at these documents.

Rupert, do we have
attorney-client privilege?

Well, no, but we're covered
by your mom's privilege.

Do we have attorney-client privilege?

N-no, but...

You're not my lawyer, then.

Mom, I love you.

- Dad didn't do this.
- I know.

I know.

This will kill him.

We won't let it.

God, what does this mean? Um...

it means I basically lost half my life.

I don't have a retirement.

My wife and I will have
to work until we drop dead.

They should go to jail,
every single one of 'em.

Even the daughter. She had to know, too.

I-I just worked 20 years...

for no reason.

My husband and I will lose our house,

our cars, everything.

Our kids will have nothing.

We've lost everything
that we've worked for.

- Almost everyone...
- That was hard.

You did good.

It's a nightmare.

You're gonna need a lawyer.

Diane?

- Yes?
- Are you hearing this?

It's all gone?

Well, the Rindells have
$13.8 million on hand,

and that's from an initial
investment of $8 billion.

They never invested a cent?

Not after 2008.

The housing bubble.
There was a shortfall,

and they made it up with
money from new investors.

But I steered people to them.

The Women's Fund, all their money.

I even told Emily's List
to put their 401k there.

I know there's a lot for
you to process, Diane, but...

we need to think about a few things

and act fast.

- The escrow?
- Yes.

There will be a penalty,

but we must get out of it now.

Yes.

Good.

And you need to delay your retirement.

The government might freeze your account

and put you on a living-wage budget.

What? Why?

Well, they can claw back past earnings

and distribute them
among all the victims.

That's what they did with Madoff.

But my personal account...

that is my money, isn't it?

No, not necessarily.

They'll allow you to keep

a subsistence-level amount of cash,

but they might freeze the rest.

So am I broke?

Well, I don't like to
talk that way, but...

you can't live the
way you've been living

for more than a few months.

You'll need to keep your job.

Or maybe sublet this apartment.

Is there a reason you and your husband

are delaying your divorce?

What?

You and your husband
are separated, right?

Yes.

Well, if your separation is permanent,

then you really should consider

memorializing with the divorce,

otherwise, his accounts
could be frozen, too.

This is a nightmare.

Again, you need to act first.

And the first thing is
to delay your retirement.

This is not just about
my financial situation.

I'm also afraid I would
miss practicing the law.

I was in the midst of the Kendall
deposition, and I thought, uh,

"My God, I love this...
this is what I do."

So what do you propose?

That I not leave.

That I close the case, and, um,

that I stay on.

In what position?

This position. My-my current position.

You signed your exit agreement.

Well, yes, but I would suggest
we rip that up for the moment.

Unfortunately, I don't
think that works for us.

Why not?

Well, we're kind of
top-heavy, like you said.

We already reorganized
around your leaving.

This is my firm.

No, it was your firm.

Look, if you want to
stay on as an emeritus,

we can discuss that.

And lose my equity?

What is to keep me from taking
my clients out the door with me?

Where would you take them?

I just brought Cook County and
their 32 million a year to you.

Let's see how you feel
when you lose them.

You're her, aren't you?

No.

You're a Rindell.

I lost my retirement because of you.

Excuse me, I have to...

I know where you work, you stupid bitch!

- You think this is over?
- Ms. Rindell.

- I have nothing to do with...
- No, no, no.

I-I'm Yesha Mancini.

I'm your lawyer.

Good morning, Lockhart, Deckler...

How old are you?

- Does that matter?
- It can.

Twenty-five.

- And you've been a lawyer for?
- Six months.

Three months longer than me.

Uh, you contacted my
firm asking for a lawyer.

- No, my girlfriend did.
- Your girlfriend

contacted my firm asking for a lawyer.

Everyone else was busy, so...

tag... I'm it.

I-I think we need to
talk about a few things...

I got to get back.

Uh, when the Feds call
you in for an interview...

and they will... call me.

Here's my card.

Actually, it's my firm's card.

I just scratched out my boss' name.

That's mine right there.

Doesn't really instill confidence.

I'll have cards made up for next time.

So, um, I was thinking about
what you said at the party.

That you would have
partners thrown out the door

to make room for me.

Now, you're looking for
an emeritus position?

Uh, no, a...

partnership.

I mean, I'm not...

looking for my name on the door, but...

Well, let me talk to my partners.

So I was thinking about
what you said at my party,

and I realized... why
am I leaving the law?

We're not done breaking
the glass ceiling.

- You're not retiring?
- No.

But I am leaving my old firm.

I was, um, hoping to join you.

What's going on, Renee?

- What do you mean?
- I've been to three firms today.

A month ago, they would've been
climbing all over themselves.

- Uh... it's a tough time, Diane.
- No, it's not. That's bullshit.

Do you want a civil conversation?

I want an honest
conversation with a friend.

Diane, you're not a spring chicken.

Oh, so it's ageism,
with my book of clients?

Call them, Diane.

How many will actually go with you?

How many lost money with the Rindells?

I'm not the Rindells.

You referred them to people.

The Chicago Women's Fund?

It's out $82 million.

They may have to close their doors.

Just give it some time.

It's a bad time right
now. You're poison.

No firm will hire you.

Just let it pass.

You want a divorce?

Your accountant called.

Without a divorce, Kurt,

your finances will suffer
from the same, uh...

from the same...

thing.

It's about money, not about us.

- What do you want?
- No, this is...

this is in your lap.

I didn't leave you.

Actually, you did.

You slept with your student, so...

Okay, my accountant said that...

my bank account will be frozen.

A divorce will, uh,

save your account

and just memorialize
what we're doing now.

Which is?

Living apart.

How are you?

I'm great.

I'm broke and out of a job,

but, hey...

bad things happen to good people.

You're out of a job?

Yes, I signed my exit
agreement, and they...

they won't...

Oh, my God.

This is my life, and it's...

it's over.

It's gone.

I'm losing my apartment.

I'm unemployable. How is that possible?

How is my life suddenly
so fucking meaningless?!

It isn't.

How can you work so hard

every single day of your life

and have nothing to show for it?

Not a friend!

I'm a friend.

Kurt?

I feel bad enough already.

I don't want to be responsible
for your going broke.

Divorce me.

Good morning, Lockhart,
Deckler, Gussman, Lee, Lyman,

Gilbert-Lurie, Kagan,
Tannebaum & Associates.

Diane. I am so sorry.

Are you okay?

That depends... will
I get my money back?

I'm sorry, my lawyer's
directed me not to answer that.

Then don't ask me.

We may have a little opening right here.

Go for the jugular.

Mr. Kendall,

tell us which car in the parking lot

- you were hoping to steal.
- Objection.

- It is a completely fair question.
- Not in evidence.

Not close to being in evidence.

- Can I ask my question, please?
- Sure,

I'm just preserving my
objection for the record.

Which car was it, Mr. Kendall?

Was it the sports car here?

That's the one they found
with the window broken.

Uh, I don't-I don't know. Um...

- I-I don't remember.
- You don't remember

which car you were there to steal?

Come on, Diane, is this
what you're left with...

badgering someone in a wheelchair?

Excuse me,

objection as to badgering.

I understand you're not
happy with your life,

but don't take it out on our client.

Okay, we're done here.

There you are.

I want this firm to
know she stole my money.

My kids are not going to college

because she stole my savings.

You can't get away!

I'm gonna sue you for every single cent!

Then do it!

But right now, fuck off!

When they see you cry,

it makes them happy.

So get it out of your system here.

You're on the other side.

I had a friend.

Went through the same thing.

Said it was hell for a few months.

Harden yourself.

Ignore what people say.

Keep your head down and keep working.

You're a new associate?

Work is your friend.

Don't watch TV, don't
look at the Internet.

Do you have a book?

Then read it.

Keep it with you at all times.

Don't give them the satisfaction...

of making eye contact.

It's hard.

But it ends.

That's the video, Mrs. Lockhart.

Excuse me?

The car video. The one you asked for.

Oh, right.

Oh, and, uh, Mr. Boseman
is here to see you.

He... what?

Did we have a negotiation?

No.

Okay, give me a minute.

Hmm.

- Adrian.
- Hey.

I didn't know we had a meeting.

No, no, we didn't.

Uh, we're not.

I'm here to chat.

How you doing, Diane?

Come on, sympathy
doesn't suit you, Adrian.

What do you need?

You.

Me?

I...

want you to join our firm.

You're broke, Diane.

You're looking for a place to land...

and nobody wants you

'cause of this Rindell scandal.

I'm tired, Adrian. I want to go home.

You know, we're in
the midst of expanding.

You could be...

our diversity hire.

Well, if this is about the case,

it doesn't make any difference.

I mean, even if I joined you,

I can't use what I know.

It's not about this case.

It's about the next one and the next one

and the next one and the next one.

Diane...

we don't want you to beat us.

I would much rather
you help us beat them.

- I'd be a partner?
- Yes,

and you'd be back on
the right side of things.

Why aren't you afraid
of the Rindell scandal?

I'm poison. Haven't you heard?

Yeah, here's the thing, Diane.

The Rindells ran an...

invitation-only investment
fund, and you know what?

They never invited black folk.

You got fucked here, Diane.

And you know the best response?

You come with me,

and you fuck 'em back.

- Explain it to me... what did you do?
- Okay, I...

What did I...

- I called an audible.
- Ugh.

- It was an audible, Barbara.
- Don't act like that's a thing here.

You made a decision by fiat.

You didn't care what the
rest of the partners thought.

- No! I saw an opportunity,
- Oh.

- And I thought it was an opportunity
- What opportunity?

- That we would all appreciate.
- What opportunity?

Diane Lockhart's firm will
be representing Cook County

on every single one of
their police brutality cases

from here until eternity!

Now, at the very least,

we just stole away
their strongest attorney.

At the most, she helps us with strategy.

- She can't tell us anything.
- Not on this case she can't,

but on every other case
going forward she can.

Barbara,

are you worried about losing
the firm's culture or something?

If that's what you're worried about

- we can make sure...
- Adrian, stop.

You want to know what I'm worried about?

Yeah, yes, I do.

Every rumor I hear about Lockhart

is that she doesn't know her place.

She's not gonna be happy until
she's in the inner circle.

You're describing yourself, Barbara.

You're describing me.

We're ambitious people,

and we need people like that around

- to grow this company.
- Lucca.

Yes, but we don't want
people who are only happy

when they're giving orders.

Lucca, you worked with Diane Lockhart.

- Yeah, for a year.
- This is not helpful, Barbara.

Did you like working with her?

I don't think it mattered.

She was a partner; I was an associate.

Yes, and if she came here,
it would be the same thing.

- Would you like that here?
- Oh, God, Jesus.

God, help me.

- Since when is that the criteria here?
- Lucca?

Should we bring in Diane as a partner?

Yes.

Why?

She's a good lawyer.

She's passionate,
idealistic and cunning.

Anything else?

No.

She would be an asset.

Thanks.

Well...

that went in a different
direction than I thought.

- She can't be a name partner.
- I didn't offer her that.

- Junior partner is fine.
- With an equal equity draw.

Don't you ever call an audible again.

You got it.

Oh, my God, they're saying
they have a sex tape of us.

"TMZ Exclusive Footage: Maia
Rindell Lesbian Sex Tape!"

Oh, God, don't look
at it. Just close it.

Oh, my God, it's like
waving a red flag at a bull.

Suddenly I'm a lesbian temptress?

This isn't even us.
This person has a tattoo.

Okay, listen to me, you
have to stay sane, okay?

You have to ignore this stuff.

They're obviously
lying. All of 'em, right?

The whole family.

Hey.

- Are you leaving?
- Yes.

For where?

Another firm.

I don't want a divorce.

Maybe it's smart, but
I... I don't want it.

They'll freeze your account.

- Let 'em.
- Kurt, you're not a cowboy.

We don't live in a world with cowboys.

I don't want the door
to close completely.

It is closed between us.

Then divorce me.

But I won't do it.

My parents saw the tape.

They think it's us having sex.

Tell them it's not.

They don't believe me.

I'm sorry.

I'm going to Reddick and Boseman.

What?

I'm leaving here and going
to Reddick and Boseman.

Oh, the bunch of schvartzes?

- You can't do that.
- Yes, I can.

You give them proprietary
information, we'll sue you.

I don't need to.

Well, what about the
police brutality case

you've been working on?

- I'm handing it off to you.
- Ugh.

Oh, and you may want to look at this.

The police were unprovoked.

I could be wrong, but it looks
like a $6 million payout to me.

Anyway, good-bye.

It was fun.

Want the door closed?

Could you please stand up?

Stand over there.

Is there anything on
this desk that is yours?

Uh, no.

Oh, hey, I heard you got fired.

Too bad, I thought the
flowers looked good.

Adrian, it's Diane.

In a few hours you're gonna
get a call from this firm

offering you a good deal on
the Kendall brutality case.

Yes, I don't disagree.

I, um, I just want you to
know, there's an associate here

who found the key piece of evidence

that the case turned on,

and she was just fired.

You left this.

Give it to someone who needs it.

- I'm done.
- No, you're not.

Let's go.

Where?

Someplace.

Why?

Because it's not over yet.
