[SIGHS]
So Greek Orthodox, huh?
- I'm just curious. - Yup.
- For how long? - A long time.
- Your parents? - Yeah, I have parents.
- Were your parents Greek Orthodox? - Yeah.
- So you believe in God? - Yup.
You believe he's watching us now?
Yeah.
- So you believe this is fornication? - The first two were.
The last one, I don't know what I would call that.
[LAUGHS]
- Does it bother you? - A bit.
Oh, no. This fallen woman is dragging you down.
You know what's weird?
I'm more judgmental about my daughter's Christianity than yours.
- Why is that? - I don't know. You're a bad person.
I don't want you to feel like you're doing wrong when you're with me.
Yeah, you do.
[BOTH LAUGH]
Yeah, I guess I do.
[CHUCKLES]
[PHONE RINGING]
ALICIA: What time is it?
It is ten after 9.
It's probably Diane.
Yup.
Hey, Diane. Yes?
Okay, I'll see you there.
- Court? - Yeah.
Another Dipple case.
Privacy this time.
Don't get up. I wanna picture you in my bed all day,
just eating bonbons, watching daytime TV.
You have nice day, dear.
DIANE: This is the footage taken from Ms. Hamm's drone?
Yes, that's my understanding.
And that... That is your house right there, isn't it?
Yes. 1547 Oakmont.
Did you grant permission for the drone to fly over it?
No. Absolutely not.
- How often does it do that? NACHMANN: Every day.
Sometimes several times a day, at unpredictable times.
It has to be unpredictable. That's the basic principle of security sweeps.
Ms. Hamm, please. Your lawyer will argue for you.
And, uh, why is the drone such a problem for you?
NACHMANN: It's my business.
I'm a therapist. I practice out of my house.
- And do your patients complain? NACHMANN: Some have even quit.
They depend on me for privacy and they get this.
DIANE: And that is why you're suing the owner of the drone?
Yes, her drone has led to my business losses.
- Thank you. Nothing more. - Look at her.
CAITLIN: Do patients park in your garage, Dr. Nachmann?
My garage? No. I turned that into my office.
I see. Then do patients enter your garage office
- through a covered walkway? - No.
So they park on the street then walk up to your house
where anyone who happens to be around could see them?
- Yes. - How is that different
from being observed by a drone?
Well, I guess you expect it from someone on the street
but not from the sky.
And how much are you suing my client for?
Three-hundred thousand dollars.
And yet you have two top partners at your table.
- Objection, Your Honor. - I haven't even gotten to my question.
Wait till she gets to her question, then I'll sustain.
CAITLIN: I used to work for their firm.
And this case wouldn't even be considered
- unless there was an ulterior motive. - Objection.
- That has nothing to do with this case. - But it does. This case is a fiction.
It is a trial balloon sent up by Reese Dipple, a reactionary billionaire.
Your Honor, she is trying to play to your bias.
- Their guns and the sanctity of their homes.
Yes, and yet we have to deal with the case in front of us.
I agree. I just wish the plaintiffs were more honest.
Well, this is a surprise. When did you come back to the law?
A month ago. Zoe started nursery school.
- Is that your daughter? - Yes.
Oh, my God, she's beautiful.
- So you're happy? - I am.
And you're good in court. How did you know it was Dipple?
It was a guess. Two partners on this case, it made no sense.
I learned from the best.
[CHEERING ON TV]
[FRONT DOOR UNLOCKING]
Is my wife here?
She's in court.
You're her investigator?
Yeah.
[MUG SMASHES]
We are still married.
I'll get my things.
Yeah, that would be good.
How long has this been going on?
That's a question for Alicia.
- Does Grace know? - Again, Alicia.
You're in my way.
You're screwing my wife and I'm in your way?
At the moment, yes.
I should kick your ass.
You could try.
And then what?
Ripped & Corrected By mstoll
[MACHINE GRINDING]
One Goji-gasm with a virility boost.
Good luck with that.
- I know who you are. - And I know who you are.
So we can skip the part where you wanna date me.
What can I help you with, sir?
You can help me put Peter Florrick in jail.
How about a Super-C Quencher instead?
Or I can subpoena you to testify against your father.
Okay, here's the thing. I am nobody.
My last five jobs I needed to wear nametags.
I live with three roommates and one is a squatter.
This has nothing to do with me.
So you and your little FBI friend should take your show somewhere else.
"Judge Schakowsky won't be a problem." "How can you be sure?"
"He owes me. He'd be in jail right now on bribery charges
if I hadn't warned him."
Hi, this is Marissa from the Juice Bar. We need mall security.
There's a man here harassing employees who refuses to leave.
I want you to give your father a message from me.
I don't know. Let me ask him. How tall are you?
Tell him he has two choices. He can testify against Peter Florrick
or I can use your testimony to put him in jail for obstruction of justice.
Looks like 5'11", dark hair, kind of a mean look in his eye.
Wait, I think he's leaving. Thanks.
DIANE: Howard.
- How can I be of service? - We need you to move offices.
Why? I like this office. It's close to the bathroom.
You're emeritus, Howard.
And this is a high profile, very visible space.
Where clients can get a good look at your... Your work ethic.
We have a space on the 27th floor. It's all arranged.
27th floor? That's for losers.
This isn't a negotiation, Howard.
And who, uh, may I ask, am I being evicted for?
- Alicia. - Alicia. Of course.
- It's all beginning to make sense. - All right, I need to get to court.
But, please, let's get this moving.
So you're, uh, throwing in with the girls, huh?
I'm not throwing in with anyone.
Howard, I'm just trying to do what's best for the firm.
We've had problems with mail theft, bikes gone missing, a car vandalized.
So that's when you bought the drone and started PicketFenceWatch.com?
Yes, it's too big an area for volunteers to secure,
so the drone makes it easier to monitor.
Have any of your other neighbors complained about your drone?
- Or is it just Dr. Nachmann? HAMM: No. People love it.
Thank you, Ms. Hamm. Being a mother myself,
I can understand the worth of such a safety tool.
Objection, counselor is testifying.
My apologies, I thought I was reacting.
- Is that what a reaction sounds like? - The same way you're reacting.
Excuse me. Please let me rule on the objection.
Sustained.
CAITLIN: Nothing further, Your Honor.
Why not fly it over other neighbors' houses,
- leave Dr. Nachmann alone? HAMM: Avoiding his house
would mean not covering a lot of other people who want it.
But by covering this area, you mean not just the public area,
like the street, you also look into peoples' backyards.
I have to.
Criminals don't just use the front door.
Do you pick up images from inside their houses?
- No. - Is that a person there
- inside their house? HAMM: I guess.
Did that person give you permission to photograph them?
I would never upload anything like that to the site.
Your Honor, this is a clear case of intrusion upon seclusion.
It is well-established that a person has a reasonable expectation
to privacy in his own home.
CAITLIN: It is Reese Dipple trying to create law.
- Your Honor! CAITLIN: The expectation of privacy
is in relation to government surveillance.
If Dr. Nachmann simply uses some discretion by pulling his blinds...
He shouldn't have to.
Your Honor, we have to weigh the minor inconvenience to Dr. Nachmann
against the significant public interest in preventing crime.
DUNAWAY: So we do.
The incursions into our privacy are already so severe, Judge.
As much as I despair, and sympathize with our privacy being trampled on
by new technologies, the facts in this case
simply don't warrant abridging Ms. Hamm's first amendment rights.
Dr. Nachmann, your petition for a declaratory judgment is denied.
The drone can fly.
What the hell are you doing? Not you. I'll call you back.
I've been booted, exiled to the 27th floor.
- For doing what? - Nothing. Make room for Alicia.
The next step in Diane's push for an all-female-led firm.
Diane pushed but the Gerbil stood by and never said a word.
Cary's in on this?
First, she came for the young guys, then the older guys.
Pretty soon, there won't be anybody left to speak for you.
[SIGHS]
[BEN HARPER'S "BURN ONE DOWN" PLAYING ON COMPUTER]
Let us burn one from end to end
Are you all right?
You seem a little out of it.
Burn it long, we'll burn it slow
- Just tired. - Well, why don't you go home?
No. No, maybe in a little while.
'Cause I'm gonna burn one down
'Cause I'm gonna burn...
It's been a weird time, huh?
- What do you mean? - Us jumping from firm to firm.
All the changes.
- It was easier when we started out. - Well, yeah.
Not necessarily better.
Go home, Cary. Take a nap.
An afternoon off isn't gonna change anything.
And if you're causing no harm Then you're all right with me
If you don't like my fire Then don't come around
'Cause I'm gonna...
CAITLIN: That's your client.
We're countersuing. That drone was an $80,000 prototype.
And we'll assess punitive.
See you in court then.
Your offices look great, by the way.
Dipple won't back our client after that, will he?
I don't know. The doctor has a good aim.
And Reese Dipple loves the second amendment.
[FRONT DOOR UNLOCKING]
ALICIA: Sorry I'm late.
Jason?
JASON [MACHINE]: Hey, this is Jason. Leave a message.
Hey, where are you? I'm alone here.
Call me when you get this.
[ENGINE STARTS]
- I'm just saying he knew details. ELI: What kind of details?
He had a transcript of an entire phone conversation you and I had.
- About? - Judge Schakowsky.
He... What?
How you tipped that judge off about the FBI sting.
The only way he could know that
is if he had a wiretap in the governor's office.
- Is he insane? - He's like an evil boy scout.
He wants you to testify against Peter at the trial.
Wait, did he say trial or grand jury?
Trial, I think. Is that important?
If he said trial it means he knows he's gonna get an indictment.
- He definitely said trial. - Damn it.
CAITLIN: That's you, shooting the drone down, isn't it?
- That is me. CAITLIN: Your Honor,
we request an immediate judgment as a matter of law.
Dr. Nachmann just admitted to violating your ruling.
ALICIA: Your Honor, you said the drone could fly.
You didn't say Nachmann couldn't protect his property.
- Come on. - Is that an objection?
- It's an expression of amazement. - Show me in the order...
CAITLIN: No one needs to spell it out. ALICIA: No one did.
- By analogy to the rule of lenity. CAITLIN: Where are we going next?
ALICIA: Now that you mention it... CAITLIN: Your Honor.
Isn't it implicit in your order not to shoot at my client's drone?
Why? It's illegal to discharge a firearm in Chicago but not in Oak Park.
It's not the weapon we're objecting to. It's the target.
We ask for compensatory damages in the amount of $80,000
and $10,000 in punitives
along with a clear instruction from the court
that the defendant may not shoot drones out of the sky.
Actually, Your Honor, I would like an opportunity to examine him first.
He's already admitted to shooting it down.
He didn't admit to doing anything wrong.
- By all means. ALICIA: Dr. Nachmann,
did you feel threatened by the drone flying over your house yesterday?
- Yes, I did. - Threatened? Seriously?
Did you believe it was making a violent, riotous, or tumultuous assault?
- Yeah, with all the noise, absolutely. - This is ridiculous.
Did you believe what you did was necessary to repel the drone?
- Very much so. - 720 ILCS 5/7-2
allows the use of force in defense of one's dwelling.
Castle Doctrine? You're applying Castle Doctrine?
Your Honor, this is still about Mr. Dipple's libertarian fantasies.
Again, the plaintiff is attempting to provoke bias.
Castle Doctrine allows the use of force to the extent necessary
to terminate or prevent unlawful entry.
Are you saying Dr. Nachmann thought
the drone was going to enter his home?
Drones are capable of doing more than record video.
They can steal, interfere with,
and destroy things inside the house without ever entering.
The drone overflight was a de facto intrusion,
- which means Castle Doctrine applies. - Honestly, is that a reasonable fear?
CAITLIN: No. ALICIA: Yes.
Then prove it.
You just sat there and let Diane beam Alicia up to our floor?
Do you realize that the camel's nose is already in our tent, so that...
That was the lesser of two evils.
- What's the other evil? - Having a pantless
octogenarian scaring away clients.
We're name partners, David. Nobody can move us out.
Together we have more equity in this place than Diane does.
And if we have to play that trump card, so be it.
I don't know if you're confident or covering, but I do know this,
this is war, and before the women make their next move,
we need to fire a shot across their bow.
[GUNFIRE]
DIANE: Mr. Pert, what are we seeing there?
An Unmanned Aircraft System, drone in common parlance,
modified to carry an AR-15 machine gun.
With all due respect, Dr. Nachmann would have known
if Ms. Hamm's drone was carrying a machine gun.
- Thank you, Your Honor. - But drones can carry more
- than just machine guns, can't they? - Absolutely.
DIANE: Did that drone have a handgun attached to it?
A Beretta Pico. Only about five inches long.
Drones can be fitted to carry virtually any weapon.
Okay, this is entertaining but I'm not sure why it's relevant.
- It's not. DIANE: The havoc drones wreak
isn't limited to weapons, is it, doctor?
No, it's almost impossible to tell unless you take it apart
but this drone has a camera that does thermal imaging.
And now this drone looks like a basic hobbyist's toy
when in fact it's equipped with a Wi-Fi router
that tricks your computers to connecting with it.
DIANE: And what happens when they connect?
PERT: It steals your personal data, bank information.
It's been established that my client's drone has none of these modifications.
Yes. But our client had no way of knowing. Isn't that right?
Drones can absolutely intrude on a person's home without entering it.
If that's what Dr. Nachmann said he was afraid of, he's smart.
You study and develop drone technology at Chicago Polytech,
- is that right? - Yes.
CAITLIN: Would that include flight paths?
PERT: Yes, of course. CAITLIN: Tell me,
before my client's drone is shot out of the sky,
is it hovering in a stationary position or moving toward Dr. Nachmann's home?
That drone looks like it's flying away from the house.
So even if Ms. Hamm's drone had attempted a violent or illegal intrusion,
it was, in fact, retreating.
And under Illinois law, including the Castle Doctrine,
it is illegal to shoot an intruder in the back if he,
- or in this case it, is retreating. - Damn.
Yep. She's right on the law.
Damages in the amount of $10,000 are awarded to Ms. Hamm.
Dr. Nachmann, don't shoot at drones.
- Nice office. - It's very comfortable, thank you.
Terrific, because I think you're gonna be in here for a while.
I need examples where a prenup was deemed invalid
- due to unconscionable terms. - Okay. Illinois, right?
Illinois, but I wanna be belt-and-suspenders on this.
- Let's make it a 50-state survey. - Great.
But Alicia has asked me to finish this business development plan.
Let me give you three reasons why I don't care.
Number one, I outrank Alicia.
Numbers two and three?
They don't matter because I outrank Alicia.
Your intimidation tactics may have worked on my daughter
- but they will not work on me. - Hello, Eli. Would you like to sit?
You don't want the inspector general, let alone the New York Times,
to learn that you put a wiretap in the office of a sitting governor.
Will you please give us a second?
[CLEARS THROAT]
I didn't tap his office, Eli. I tapped your daughter's phone.
- You...? - Yep. Awful, huh?
The lengths an AUSA will go
to arrest someone who simply does something criminal.
She worked for Lloyd Garber,
who I was investigating so I had probable cause.
My daughter knows nothing about anything illegal Lloyd Garber
or Peter Florrick did... May have done.
Agreed. But she does have knowledge of something illegal you did.
You're squeezing my daughter to get to me.
I'm not a big fan of the word "squeezing," but yes.
I know nothing about the Locke mistrial.
Good. Then you have nothing to worry about.
Look, you have a choice.
A simple choice.
Help me take down Peter Florrick
or your daughter helps me take you down.
Hey.
All right. Then I will see you tomorrow. Nope, just a few questions.
Thank you. Hey.
What are you doing working up here?
I don't know. It's quieter.
- I missed you last night. - Just work.
Well, what are you doing tonight?
Look, Alicia, I like you.
- I like you a lot. - Seriously?
- What do you want me to say? - I don't want you to say anything.
I want you to do what you did the other day.
I want... Can you give us a minute please?
I want to use you and I want you to use me.
This is purely sexual.
I like it too.
- Is this about your religion? - No.
Because I don't want your spirit.
- I want your body. - It's not about that.
Then what?
Your husband came home yesterday morning.
Oh, God.
- What? - Look, whatever he said,
whatever he did, it has nothing to do with us.
I don't like coming in the middle of something.
- We'll meet at your place tonight. - No, it's not really...
Well, then we'll go to a hotel, the side of the road, backseat of my car.
[DOOR OPENS]
I'm seeing you tonight at my apartment.
After that, you can do whatever you want.
CAITLIN: Alicia, how are you? - Peachy.
Your client shot down another drone.
This time not with a gun
but with an electronic device called a Drone Dropper.
- Alicia, you need to talk to your client. - I don't need to do anything.
Uh, Alicia, I'm a little busy here.
Give me a second.
What's going on?
Alicia?
I want a divorce.
- What's wrong? ALICIA: Nothing's wrong.
I want a divorce.
Yeah. Well, I'm in the middle of something.
Okay, you take care of that. I'll have my lawyer call you.
This is about your investigator, isn't it?
- My investigator? PETER: Mm-hm.
Yes.
I would never think of divorcing you
unless I had some other man to call my own.
I saw him yesterday.
Walking around in his boxer shorts, acting like he owned the place.
Yes, because I own the place
and I told him he was welcome to walk around naked if he wants.
And Grace? Oh, you don't give a damn about your daughter.
Ha. Yes. I'm an unfit mother. In the divorce,
you can get full custody for the three weeks before she goes to college.
Well, this must be true love.
Again.
Is that what would upset you most?
If I was in love?
No, what upsets me the most is that you're shoving it in my face.
I'm not shoving anything. This is me not caring.
Not caring what people think, what Eli thinks.
- You think. - Or what the FBI thinks.
- You know I'm about to be indicted. - Peter, you're always being indicted.
If it weren't today, it would be tomorrow.
- I'll have my lawyer call. - Thanks.
DIANE: You told Dr. Nachmann not to shoot at drones,
so he brought it down safely and he returned it.
DUNAWAY: Was the drone returned? CAITLIN: It was, but...
DUNAWAY: Why are you bothering me with this?
He gave the drone back. It wasn't damaged.
CAITLIN: It's against the law.
FAA rules prohibit interfering with the operation of an aircraft
- midflight including by disabling it. - Your Honor,
18 U.S.C. 32 applies to airplanes and helicopters, not unmanned drones.
CAITLIN: The law applies to any aircraft
in the special aircraft jurisdiction of the United States.
Are drones in the special aircraft division of the United States?
DIANE: No. CAITLIN: Yes.
Drones must be registered with the FAA.
But whether that puts them within FAA jurisdiction would depend on the height
at which the drone was flying.
And the FAA's draft regulation on drones is unclear on this issue.
Oh, well, then perhaps we should talk to someone from the FAA.
- If Peter sent you... ELI: He didn't.
Well, what do you need?
- Can I talk to you? Privately. DIANE: Oh, certainly.
ELI: I need a lawyer.
- You do or Peter does? ELI: Peter has Mike Tascioni.
And this may be an instance where my interests and the governor's diverge.
- Understood. - So everything I'm about to say
will be covered under attorney-client privilege?
And you can't share this with Alicia.
- I understand. - The federal prosecutor, Connor Fox,
is trying to force me to testify against Peter at trial.
Okay.
Well, if or when you're subpoenaed, you can obviously take the Fifth.
I'm not worried about incriminating myself.
- I don't know anything. - AUSA doesn't believe that.
No.
Well, if you truly don't know anything, why don't you get up and say that?
Here's the problem.
I told my daughter something that I did that may have
obstructed justice.
And he's gonna force Marissa to testify against you
if you don't help him take down Peter?
So, what do I do?
Hey, what's up?
I'm hiding.
- From who? LUCCA: David Lee.
- He dumped a 50-state survey on me. - Oh, yeah.
He likes to haze newcomers.
Hmm...
It felt like more than that.
He's probably feeling threatened. Diane's...
Diane's been aggressive about this female-led firm idea.
- Are we taking over? - I don't know.
I don't know if I have the stomach for a gender war right now.
- Would we make more money? - Heh. Probably.
[KNOCKING ON DOOR]
Hey, come on in.
I need your help with something.
Funny thing. I need yours. You start.
David Lee is hazing Lucca.
He's got her doing a pointless 50-state survey to complete overnight.
Yeah, he did that to me when I started. You too.
Yes, but Lucca was my partner.
And when you convinced me to come back, I convinced her.
Okay.
- Now, I have a favor to ask you. - Sure.
- Don't side with Diane. - With what?
You know with what.
Cary, I'm not a name partner.
But you're a name.
This is none of my business. It's between you and Diane.
And you can't take sides?
Okay.
Good to know.
- So you'll help Lucca? - I'll see.
DIANE: You work for the Federal Aviation Administration, Mr. Ortiz?
I do. The Enforcement and Compliance Division.
So you're familiar with the FAA's proposed regulation on drones?
It's pretty much all we're talking about internally these days.
Could you explain for us what Class G airspace is?
It's the band that the FAA doesn't control.
It's between zero and 500 feet,
not including approaches to airports.
And above 500 feet, it would be illegal to disable a drone aircraft,
for example, by using a device such as the Drone Dropper?
- That is correct. - But below 500 feet,
that is not the FAA's jurisdiction.
- Your Honor, point of information? DUNAWAY: Regarding?
United States v. Causby.
That's C-A-U-S-B-Y, not the other way.
Thank you.
That case established that an individual's property rights
include at least as much as the airspace above the ground
as one could occupy or use in connection with the land.
- Do we have a number? - Eighty-three feet.
Exactly 83 feet?
That was the height below which the Court found
an airplane flying over Mr. Causby's land would frighten his chickens.
- Of course. CAITLIN: The drone was at 200 feet
and therefore, not on Dr. Nachmann's property.
Your Honor, this is preposterous. That's a 70-year-old case.
- But still good law. DIANE: But it's hardly applicable
to what we've seen is cutting-edge technology.
CAITLIN: The law's the law.
Well, as far as the FAA is concerned,
if a drone is flying at 83 feet or below,
Dr. Nachmann would be within his rights to take it down.
And above 500 feet, it would be illegal.
And at 200 feet?
Well, it's not clearly his property at that point but it's not clearly not.
As a representative of the FAA's legal department,
- would you like to clear that up? - No.
Well, we're waiting to hear from the public and private sectors
before we regulate Class G airspace.
So for the time being...
Between 83 and 500 feet, it's the wild, wild West.
I hired an attorney. A good one.
Glad you passed on all the bad ones, but what's the plan?
Developing.
- It sounds like you're putting me off. - Don't worry about me.
I'm worried about me too.
I'm a small person and it would be a lot of guilt to carry around
- putting you away. - All you have to do is hold tight
and do not speak to AUSA Fox.
Dad, do you not wanna testify against Peter Florrick
because you don't think he did anything wrong
or are you still trying to protect him?
DIANE: Wait a minute. DAVID: I think you...
You think you are the only person on the letterhead? I don't know.
- It's getting really creepy around here. - All right. Just calm down.
We all have the same long-term goals.
World domination.
To turn this into the premier full-service law firm in Chicago.
You mean the premier female-led law firm.
Listen, we're not gonna ride into the future on Howard Lyman's back.
I don't care about Howard, but your elevation of Alicia Florrick...
DIANE: Makes sense. - She's been back
for barely a minute, you have her stepping over bodies.
DIANE: Alicia's name is a big draw to clients.
You didn't even want her.
- I was short-sighted. - Or I was.
Alicia's weathered a lot of challenges...
Peter's, her own.
- But she could still be an asset to this firm and that matters to all of us.
Oh, cut the crap. What's your move?
Make Alicia a name partner.
No.
I can bring this to the entire partnership.
- You think you have the votes? - I think I can get them.
Do you really wanna tear this firm apart to find out?
- So I don't get my office back, huh? - Not any time soon.
And there's no way to stop the estrogen army?
- Not without a big fight. - Which you don't wanna have.
I'm just not sure it's worth it.
I will see you on the 27th floor, pal.
Oh, I'm not giving up.
I'm just saying there's other things to consider.
- Like what? - Money.
Howard, at the end of the day,
all I wanna do is milk this place for all it's worth while it's still standing.
I've reconsidered. You're right.
A rising tide lifts all boats.
I'll support Alicia's elevation to name partner.
On what condition?
One that I think you'll be happy to comply with.
[SIGHS]
Hello?
Mm.
- Did you eat? - No.
- Do you want something? - No.
What we have here is a political hot potato masquerading as a legal case.
The law has simply not caught up with technology
and drones remain, and I would suggest frighteningly, unregulated.
But because any regulation would require hard choices
between the competing values of privacy, individual liberty
and commerce,
neither the legislative nor the executive branches of the United States
wanna make a decision, so it falls to me.
I'm not thrilled to say this
but drones are not on private property above 83 feet.
And you, Dr. Nachmann,
owe the plaintiff punitive and compensatory damages.
That's it.
- Well fought. - Thank you.
- Your husband's a lawyer too, right? CAITLIN: Yes.
How does that work?
Not well. We're separated.
Oh, my God. I'm so sorry.
Yes. He's in Las Vegas.
It's just Zoe and me.
I guess you were right. I never should have left.
No, I wasn't right.
- You threw in with Diane. - I'll call you back.
It's just what's best for the firm.
Isn't that what you told me when I got sent downstairs?
You let Diane and Alicia take over and what?
They slip you a few extra shares to shut up and smile?
Something like that.
Life's a bitch, kid.
DIANE: Assistant U.S. Attorney Fox? Diane Lockhart.
I'm representing Eli Gold.
- What can I do for you? - My client is here to confess
to obstruction of justice in the Don Schakowsky bribery case.
You realize that potentially comes with it a lengthy prison term.
- I do. DIANE: Given Mr. Gold's willingness
to cooperate, his daughter, Marissa, should be of no further interest to you.
Of course, if you wish to pursue these charges,
Mr. Gold won't be of much value as a witness
in any future trials including, perhaps, Peter Florrick's.
My understanding was that your client doesn't know anything
about Government Florrick's involvement in the Locke mistrial?
My memory on that point is foggy.
I supposed it could be refreshed.
Only time will tell.
DIANE: So, uh, you tell us, Mr. Fox.
Would you like to hear Mr. Gold's confession
or would you rather wait and hear his testimony at trial?

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]
Thank you.
- For what? - For making me name partner.
- It was a surprise. - Don't thank me. I voted against it.
Is that because of the conversation we had before?
No. Don't worry. David Lee voted for you.
He doesn't care anymore.
Cary, I'm on your side.
I know we've been at loggerheads before
- but I won't be working against you. - I know. Because I'm quitting.
- What? - I'm having Diane buy me out.
- She... Why? - I don't like it anymore.
I like being a lawyer. That can be fun. But this isn't.
I'm not good at it.
I'm not good at looking over my shoulder.
- I don't wanna be my dad. - Cary, you can't just quit.
Yeah, I can.
By the way, I was subpoenaed in your husband's case.
It's not good.
[KNOCKING ON DOOR]
[FRONT DOOR UNLOCKING]
- Can I come in? - I can't fight now, Peter.
- I'm exhausted. - Then let me just talk.
I'm not here to argue you out of your divorce.
The kids are grown. We live apart. Things have changed.
Good. Thanks.
But I do need to ask you a favor.
As you know, I'm being indicted.
But this time, I don't think it's a false alarm.
I need you to stand beside me during this.
You can proceed with the divorce.
Just get everything ready, I won't contest it.
But
don't make it public until afterwards.
I can't have it look like you're leaving me because I'm guilty.
After that, we'll go our separate ways, live our lives,
see each other when the kids graduate.
But I need to ask you this one last favor.
