MAN: This was the morning of Kara Anderson's death.
MAN 2: I guess I should have known something was wrong.
She wanted to go sit in her room a minute.
I didn't know she was saying good-bye.
YOUNGER MAN: I asked her about studying together,
but she wanted to be in the sun all day.
MAN 1: This was the morning of Kara Anderson's death,
because she chose it.
(doorbell rings)
Come in.
Hey.
Oh, you look pretty good for an out-of-work loser.
(laughs) I'm almost done.
You heading straight to court? Yep.
So how you handling it one week in?
I'm devastated-- getting up
at 9:00 instead of 5:00,
going to the gym instead of racing to court.
I miss the law too much.
You're not coming back, are you?
I haven't checked my cell phone in two hours.
You know what that feels like?
Well, you are missed at work.
I doubt that.
David Lee is probably calculating
my square footage right now.
Okay, the disciplinary board says
I can consult on any case strategy
developed before my suspension.
So tell Alicia I made notes on this petition,
but I can't on this one. You sure?
That's the one she needs.
Those are the rules.
How's she doing?
Oh, worried.
Overwhelmed.
Tell her Judge Serena likes women
more than men anyway.
And watch out with the client.
He'll talk too much and get pretentious on the stand.
Will, when I leave, you're not going to curl up
into a little ball and cry, are you?
Tears of joy and relaxation.
You really think you can do this for six months?
In a walk. Okay.
Call me when you crash.
*
I'm sorry.
This is hard for me, and I'm...
I'm just a girl from Michigan.
I can't imagine what it's like for you.
Yeah, just the thought of my daughter
out there in this movie, it...
But you agreed to an interview? Yes.
Our daughter had just died, and she...
He said that this documentary
was an attempt to keep people
from committing suicide,
and it's just to make money.
ALICIA: Objection.
Your Honor, opinion.
CROZIER: To me, Your Honor, this is
the whole point of the case.
This is a wrongful death suit.
And he sold this movie as an anti-suicide documentary
when, in fact, it was intended to induce and encourage suicide.
ALICIA: Not "in fact," Your Honor.
In opinion.
And I wish you would admonish Ms. Crozier
for constantly summarizing her case to the jury.
This is the equivalent
of advertising through repetition.
I don't even know what that means.
I...
I'm just speaking from the heart.
SERENA: Thank you very much,
both of you.
I take your objections to heart.
Legally you're on equal footing,
and so I think we should continue with the testimony.
CROZIER: Thank you, Your Honor.
We would love to continue
with the testimony.
He could only make notes on the past strategy.
Got it.
How is he? Good.
Strangely good.
He was wondering how you're doing.
CROZIER: So, when you decided to speak to him, you didn't know
that he had film of your daughter committing suicide?
MAN: That's right. He lied to us.
CROZIER: And that would have changed your mind
about the interview? Yes, definitely.
We didn't want our daughter's death
to be turned into a circus.
CROZIER: Now, I just... I have to play it again
just up to there.
What is your daughter doing here?
She's staring into the camera.
CROZIER: And before this day,
had she ever expressed suicidal thoughts?
MAN: No, never.
CROZIER: Then why did she do it?
Because there were cameras on that bridge.
He wanted her,
or someone like her, to jump
so that he could film it and sell his film.
Objection, Your Honor. Calls for speculation.
We will withdraw that, Your Honor.
I'm sorry, Frank.
I know it's difficult
after everything that you've been through
not to speak from the heart,
but in court, we do have to go by the rules.
Let me ask something I think Mrs. Florrick
will allow me to ask.
Do you see that there?
Yes. And what do you see?
The camera zooming in.
Which tells you what?
That he was more interested in getting
a good shot than he was in saving my daughter's life.
ALICIA: Just listen, Aidan.
She's going to try and draw you
into a conversation about filmmaking.
Don't go there.
The jury won't like it if you talk about shots.
I have to answer the questions.
You have to answer "yes" or "no."
You don't have to elaborate.
Talk about why you made the film.
Why you care about suicide.
Maybe we should delay the trial
and wait for Will to come back.
Aidan, listen to me.
I've worked on this case just as long as Will has.
He's given the case to Alicia because he trusts her.
The judge doesn't trust her. Doesn't matter.
It's who the jury trusts.
That's why you need to...
Not get drawn into a conversation about aesthetics.
Good. Right.
Okay, take a deep breath.
Eli, I am already triple-tasked
with this trial as it is.
I can't do any more...
I'm not asking.
This isn't about work.
It's about you and Peter.
Eli, can we do this later?
We're meeting with Donna Brazile this afternoon.
She is going to decide if Peter is the keynote speaker
at the Democratic Convention.
Really? Really.
Hey, I am a good campaign strategist.
But I need to know if you're divorcing Peter.
Donna Brazile will not agree to the keynote
if you are. She won't...?
Uh, it's none of her business.
David Lee says he's your divorce attorney.
Wait.
David Lee said what?
He said that he is your divorce attorney.
Two weeks ago.
He said that, due to attorney-client privilege,
he can't say much.
He can't say anything. I know.
And I think you know
that David Lee is not
the greatest respecter of the niceties.
So... (sighs)
I just worry that if he tells me,
he'll tell more people.
What?
All right.
We're back to you manipulating me.
No. No.
I just thought you should know
what David Lee is saying behind your back.
DIANE: I'm just saying,
I discussed it with the disciplinary board.
Due to the fact that you are a name partner
and therefore have business interests here,
they have allowed you access to your office.
So come back, Little Sheba.
WILL: You hear that, Diane?
That's the sound of chapter five
being finished.
A Failure of Principle:
War's Impact on Supreme Court Decisions.
It sounds like a best seller.
Why don't you write your magnum opus here?
We miss you, Will. (doorbell rings)
I miss you.
Come by here.
It's quiet here.
It's peaceful.
Yeah, I'm tempted.
We'll talk.
Good-bye.
Okay, one at a time.
Hey, Willy. Guess who.
I... What are you doing here?
Making you feel better!
I heard you got fired. I didn't get fired.
So I got on an airplane and I rushed out here.
That's what sisters do.
Mm-hmm. And how long
are you thinking of... Of staying?
Long as it takes to get you back on your feet.
Diane, do you have a minute?
I know. We're all under stress.
I'm looking for someone
to join you in litigation. No.
Uh, well, yes, that's a part of it.
I'm hoping to hire someone
in the next two weeks.
Uh, we just have to move
for as many continuances as we can. Yes.
And, uh, fortunately, we haven't lost any of Will's clients.
Mm-hmm.
Okay, so that's part of it?
What's the other part?
Nature abhors a vacuum.
So does our letterhead.
I want to replace Will on the letterhead,
and I want to take his office.
Really?
Yes.
I'm taking on half his load, a third of his clients.
And what about Will?
Well, I think it's just realistic to assume
that when he comes back, he'll have to struggle
to reclaim the respect and business of his clients.
So you want to be a name partner.
I do.
I think I've made that clear from the beginning.
I think this is an opportune moment
to make that shift.
Caitlin, how are you?
Hi. Good.
How are you?
Good.
I think I'm going to need your help
in the next few days.
Sure-- anything you need.
Yes.
But didn't you want the images
to have the beauty of your heroes?
Martin Scorsese.
Right?
That's what you said in your deposition.
He did Hugo, right?
Ah, I loved Hugo.
(chuckles)
Yes, he did do Hugo.
But he also does very violent films that you love.
Gang movies.
Yes, he makes gang movies.
CROZIER: And isn't that what this was about?
The beauty of violence?
No.
Could you extrapolate?
No.
No further questions.
Aidan.
Was your cameraman zooming in on this shot
instead of keeping Kara from committing suicide?
No. There was no cameraman.
We just locked off a camera
and digitally fed it to the production office.
Well, then, how is it zooming in?
It's not.
We did that in the editing room.
We can digitally make it look like that
to imitate a zoom. ALICIA: You didn't want Kara
to commit suicide? AIDAN: No.
My aunt committed suicide.
I found her dead in our garage when I was eight.
I know what you're going through.
That's why I wanted to make this movie.
To wake people up to the warning signs
that someone in their family might commit suicide.
And what did you do when you saw
on the digital feed someone intending to jump?
I called 911, of course.
CROZIER: Objection, Your Honor,
counsel has produced no record of this call.
It's not in evidence. Yes, Mrs. Florrick.
Ms. Crozier has a good point.
Bring in proof of this 911 call,
then you can put it in the record.
The difficulty is, the City erases all 911 calls
after 30 days.
Can you get it from the 911 operator?
Possibly, but I'm not getting much cooperation
from Cook County.
Even Cary?
Especially Cary.
PETER: I'm not going to talk about my marriage.
ELI: I know, but if she asks about your marriage,
just say every relationship has a few bumps,
but you're working things out.
Peter, do you want the keynote?
I want to not sound like an idiot.
Well, put it into your own words, then, but be vague.
I'm not gonna lie.
It's not lying.
Aren't you working things out?
I don't know what we're doing.
That's working things out.
Mr. Florrick, how are you?
Ms. Brazile,
it's a pleasure. Call me Donna.
Donna, I respect you mightily.
Oh, come on, you do not.
I'm just a pain in the ass.
(laughs) Well, I respect pains in the ass the most.
Speaking of Eli, hello, Eli.
Yes, sure, make me the butt of your jokes.
So, Donna,
I want the keynote.
What do I have to do to get it?
Impress me.
Why do you want it?
I want to talk about a country that gives second chances.
It gave me a second chance to do some good.
I had to tell him I'll announce when I'm ready to.
BRAZILE: Why do people not like him?
Peter? People like Peter.
I called around to check up on him,
no one speaks up for him.
Depends on who you call. No, it doesn't.
I called his supporters, or I thought they were
his supporters.
Who? I'm not doing your job for you, Eli.
Help me out.
I want him to speak at the convention,
but you need to get some people to support him.
Support breeds support.
We should start our own music group.
A brother and sister group.
You don't like being a lawyer anyway.
What are you talking about?
Yeah, I do.
No, you don't; you never did.
You only did it 'cause Dad wanted you to.
I did it because it was a smart thing to do.
So, you did it; now do something else.
You know I have a big firm now?
Now, I know you guys think
I'm just some schmuck in Chicago,
but I have 300 employees waiting on my word.
Sounds great.
(laughs)
I swear, I could win the Nobel Prize,
and you'd still think I gave up my calling.
You didn't call Sara, did you?
Sara, our sister?
Why would I call her? You did.
I didn't. Come on, Aubrey.
I got work to do around here.
She'll just boss me around.
I did not call her.
Okay, I did.
But I knew if I didn't,
she'd kill me.
(sighs)
When is she arriving?
Her flight, in about an hour.
I told her you'd pick her up.
(phone ringing)
Hello?
Hey, it's me; I'm just checking in.
Hi, how's it going?
Good. Our client did well on the stand.
Thanks for the advice.
No problem. Who's that?
You've got your sweet voice on.
Shh, I do not.
AUBREY: Yes, you do.
I, um...
Will, I just wanted to ask, um...
I think they're putting the editor on next.
You think it's an easy objection?
Tyler v. Hasserbach. It's a cinch.
Okay, thanks, bye.
CROZIER: So, you edit
this stuff together?
The film? Yes, uh, with the director.
We place the music where it is,
and we also manipulate the images.
So, can you tell us how some of the images were manipulated?
Objection, Your Honor, relevance?
The images were manipulated to romanticize suicide.
Even if what Ms. Crozier
is saying is true, Your Honor...
Your Honor?
The images were the result
of Kara's suicide, not the cause.
Tyler v. Hasserbach. Yes, except
for the YouTube promo put on the Internet by your client.
Why don't we let this go on a bit, Mrs. Florrick?
Overruled. So,
during the editing, did Mr. Stoddard
ever voice concern about the project?
EDITOR: Yes, uh, he was afraid
there wasn't enough footage from the suicide bridge.
There's usually 15 suicides a year from that bridge.
Uh, he had his cameras up for nine months,
but there was only one.
This one.
Yes, Cynthia Caracetti.
So, Mr. Stoddard decided to create a YouTube video?
Yes, to gain
attention, that's what he said.
I needed financing, that's all.
So, how did you manipulate the image
of this young woman committing suicide?
We digitally enhanced the sky, making it softer,
bluer.
Those clouds were added, and we, uh,
added some greenery to the trees.
I see.
Is this the original image?
Yes, oh, and, uh, we added mist to the waterfall.
Excuse me, that's what filmmakers do, beautify.
Mr. Stoddard, that's enough, please.
CROZIER: Thank you, Your Honor. Now, let's discuss the music.
How did Mr. Stoddard
choose the music? Aidan
wanted the, uh, most romantic and sad music possible.
And how many songs did you try against it?
I don't know, uh, 30.
We tried
the Celine Dion song "My Heart Will Go On."
But it was too expensive.
And after the YouTube video
was posted on the Internet,
how many suicides were there?
Our cameras caught five in the next two months.
ELI: Come on, Horton. I'm not saying I did.
I'm not saying I didn't.
Which means you did.
Donna Brazile called me.
I was honest.
I used to like Peter, but I think he's lost his way.
How has he lost his way?
He thinks he can
go it on his own, so be my guest.
Meaning he didn't offer you a position
in the state's attorney's office.
He didn't offer me anything.
It's a bad economy.
I had to accept a job at a think tank.
It isn't just me.
There are people that got Peter Florrick elected,
and he didn't return the favor.
He's trying to run a clean office, Horton.
He's basing hiring on merit.
Well, that's how you offend a friend, isn't it?
I guess I don't merit.
They call it patronage for a reason, Eli.
You want a favor,
you want me to praise Peter to Donna Brazile,
I want a job.
Mrs. Florrick?
You needed me?
Yes, Caitlin, you know how we're all short-handed
around here with Mr. Gardner out
and everyone picking up the slack?
Yes, how is Mr. Gardner?
He's good.
Um, you're up on the Aidan Stoddard case?
I am; I think it's fascinating. Good.
I need you in court today.
In what capacity?
Cross-examination.
Mrs. Florrick, I...
This will be my first time.
I know.
You did well in arbitration, and everyone needs a first time.
Caitlin, you can do this, believe me.
Okay, if that's what you want.
No, I think it's a good idea.
Is she ready for court?
You don't put fruit in the refrigerator, Will.
You just buy new fruit.
Good, the key is getting the Facebook evidence in.
Good.
Who was that?
Someone from work.
Am I gonna recognize my kitchen when you're done, Sara?
I hope not.
That's why we put coffee filters by the coffee.
Doesn't that make sense?
AUBREY: Problem is, he needs a girlfriend.
SARA: Did you even try to fight the suspension, Will?
Did you? Wasn't something you fought.
Where has the beer been reorganized?
I could have Roger make a call.
Sara, your husband's a port master.
Will's not trying to locate a boat.
He knows people, that's all I'm saying.
And it's better than sitting around all day, playing guitar.
Maybe you should get another job.
You guys do know my firm has $38 million
in yearly assets, right?
Roger could call his friend at the Bar Association.
He knows people.
You know, I'm fine.
I have money... Or
maybe he could refer you to someone
to get another job.
AUBREY: I just said that.
Why do you always take what I say and repeat it?
SARA: It doesn't matter who said it; it's if it's true.
AUBREY: Yeah, but I said it.
Okay, I'm gonna go over here
and talk to myself.
Wait, what about a girlfriend?
Why aren't you seeing someone?
He is-- the woman on the phone.
Who's she?
Some lawyer.
It makes him upset when we talk about it.
Does it, Will?
Who is she?
How long are you two staying?
Where's your yearbook?
There were some girls in high school, remember?
No, he likes younger women.
CROZIER: Your Honor, not only is this
Facebook page irrelevant,
but it's a bit of a desecration of poor Kara
to use it in court.
Your Honor, I think I need your help.
With what, Miss...?
D'Arcy.
I don't understand
how this evidence pertaining
to the cause of Kara's suicide can be irrelevant
when that's what the plaintiff is suing us for.
For being that cause.
But that's not what this is.
This is Kara's Facebook page,
and to make it seem...
Like her thoughts just before she died...
No.
That's not what I was saying.
I'm sorry, I interrupted.
Yes, you did, I'm... If I could continue...
It's a desecration.
Yes, you said that.
Nicely done.
You take the questioning.
She doesn't like me, does she?
Not one bit.
MAN: We started going out two years ago.
And you were her tutor before that?
Yes, and after that, every Tuesday and Thursday.
Now, you claimed in your testimony,
um, that...
Um...
One second.
Go right for the YouTube.
Sorry about that, Your Honor.
My first time in court.
Objection.
Your Honor, do we really need the personal touch?
No, you're right, sustained.
Sorry about that.
Just nervous.
You're doing fine. Thank you.
Now, Derek, you claimed
that Kara didn't consider suicide
until after she saw my client's YouTube preview
of the suicide. Yeah, that's right.
It was right around then.
Good.
Do you recognize this?
Yes, that's Kara's Facebook page.
Could you read the quote she posted?
"Down in the graveyard, they're all quiet,
and the women have got to hold their tongues."
Right.
What's that from?
Ethan Frome.
Which is a novel about hopeless lovers
who resort to suicide?
Yes. And she added this to her Facebook page
six months before she saw the YouTube video?
Objection.
Your Honor, is Miss D'Arcy really trying to blame a novel?
Seems to make about as much sense as blaming a video.
Well, I see both your points.
But I'm going to have to overrule that objection.
And five months before seeing the YouTube video,
what did she write on her Facebook page there?
"For her life, which will be so much happier without me."
And that's from Kurt Cobain's suicide note, isn't it?
DEREK: Yes.
CAITLIN: And, finally--
this is three months before seeing the YouTube video--
could you read that?
I understand.
I'll read it.
"Every time you leave me,
you push me closer to the edge."
And that's under a photo of you, isn't it?
She took it down right after she wrote it.
Wouldn't you say
that reflected suicidal tendencies?
No, she talked, she always talked,
but she didn't really want to do it until she watched his video.
She played it over and over.
Just as she read Ethan Frome over and over? That's not the same thing.
Why isn't it? One's a book, and one's a video.
I don't know. It's just different.
CAITLIN: Derek, you and Kara were supposed
to go out the weekend before she died,
weren't you? What happened? What do you mean?
I mean, you didn't go out, did you? Why?
I was busy. I didn't even speak to her that weekend.
Because you were actually on
a last-minute skiing trip with friends, weren't you?
That has nothing to do with this. Nothing.
She knew I was going.
Really? "Every time you leave me,
you push me closer to the edge."
I did not cause this.
Thank you. No further questions.
Wow, that was amazing, Caitlin.
Thank you, Ms. Lockhart.
We'll have to talk.
ELI: Then be clean. I'm not telling you how to run your office.
You are telling me how to run my office
if you're telling me to hire someone that's inadequate.
He's not inadequate.
Horton Baker is one of the best lawyers in town.
Horton Baker is a friend of mine.
I told you that I wasn't hiring any friends.
Do you see how crazy this is?
Your friends get penalized, your enemies get promotions.
Eli, we have to make a separation between what
you do and what I do. I have to run this office.
You have to get me elected.
And I can't do that, Peter.
That's why I'm coming to you. I can't do it.
You're not getting the keynote.
Why? I thought that was a good meeting.
It was a good meeting.
Donna Brazile likes you, but your friends...
...are speaking ill of you.
There's still a chance
of a convention spot earlier in the week.
Prime time?
(groans) Maybe.
You need friends, Peter.
You need people to call up on your behalf.
It's not unclean to offer patronage.
It's the way things are done.
It's the way things have always been done.
I get it. Thanks, Eli.
Peter, if you're not taking the governorship seriously,
I need time to plan my future.
How much time?
All 911 calls are erased.
After 30 days. Yes, I know that.
But your office is prosecuting a robbery
that happened that same night.
So the tape was preserved.
So send a subpoena. You know the drill.
You'll have it in a few weeks.
I need it today.
Cary?
Cary, Cary, the tape?
I'll look into it.
*
I think I see a man on Glenhurst Bridge
and he's about to jump. Please hurry.
ALICIA: It took them 42 minutes to send
a patrol car?
And I discovered that it takes the police
48 minutes, on average, to respond to a call.
And the suicide hotline phones on the bridge are out of order.
We can implead the City.
Make them our codefendants.
And give them an incentive to move faster on the 911 call.
Good work. Thanks.
One more thing.
I've been reassigned your tax case.
The one Will was handling?
The IRS is claiming
that the businesses you reported
receiving income from don't exist.
Well, they're wrong.
You have proof?
Yeah, what's up?
Oh, I just had a question.
Okay. I can get proof.
Okay, thanks.
I've been looking over my priorities for the year, David,
and I wanted to thank you for setting up my children's trusts,
but I won't need any more help.
You're dismissing me?
No. I've decided not to divorce.
Really?
It's a bad time.
Well, I can wait till it's a good time.
No, thank you.
I've decided to go another way.
Sure. Why not?
Whatever you want.
The customer's always right, huh?
Thank you, David, for all your hard...
Alicia, look at me.
I don't give a damn.
Will is gone,
and Diane is alone at the top.
And that's bad?
That's an imbalance.
This firm needs two at the top.
Why?
Because Diane is an ideologue.
She pursues cases that cost us money
because they are "right," not because they're worthy.
So, you're looking to me
to support you in a vote to replace Will?
Yes. And in turn, I will support you.
In what?
In any way you want.
You and David Lee don't like each other.
I don't think that has anything to do with this.
Sure, you get enough votes together,
I'll support you.
Good. Thank you, Eli.
Let's just keep this between you and I, okay?
Sure.
Keep me in touch on this, Julius.
You want a magazine or something?
Who was that lacrosse player you dated senior year?
Jane something.
Jane Trout? Why?
Just seeing what Jane Trout is up to these days.
Are you trying to find all of my exes online?
Oh, look, she still lives in Chicago.
Didn't you give her your class ring?
I didn't give her my class ring.
She stole it. She was a kleptomaniac.
Why don't we look up someone for you, Aubrey?
Because I'm a committed Buddhist.
You are not. You're making things up.
And since when have Buddhists been unable to date?
See how he did that?
He changed the conversation to me? She's right.
How's your job going, Sara?
Oh, no, no. Here's the thing.
I'm taking a break: from the law, from dating,
from even thinking about dating.
I like not thinking... just for a moment.
She's cute.
Go for it.
I promise not to tell your husband.
Ha.
So who was this woman on the phone?
No idea.
Someone on the suicide case.
Yes, sir?
Yeah, uh, so we need to make room for a new ASA.
I didn't know we were hiring.
We weren't,
but now we are.
We need some new blood in this place.
I'll put out some feelers.
No, no, no. I've already hired someone.
Horton Baker.
I see.
You see?
I see you needed to hire someone.
Yeah.
What department?
Head of felony review.
And, sir, do you want any consultation on any of this?
No, I don't want any consultation.
I just want you to do it.
Okay.
ASA Pine is the current head of felony review.
I'll have to move her out.
Move her out.
I'm on it.
CROZIER: Your Honor, the defense is
just trying to shift blame.
Yes, to the guilty party.
It was the City's negligence that was responsible.
All we ask is
that they be made a third-party defendant in our suit.
Because of a broken hotline phone?
And their delayed 911 response time.
Here are the timelines
from five separate incidents.
ALICIA: The City has also refused to put barriers on the bridge.
They've prioritized aesthetics over saving lives.
This is just a bald attempt
to force the City to hand over a tape of Aidan's 911 call.
We are just trying to help Ms. Crozier
and her clients punish the true culprits here.
Thank you. I think we're doing just fine on our own.
It really takes them 48 minutes?
She's shown tremendous promise,
and you've been an exceptional mentor.
Thank you. That's why I want you
to be the first to know
I have decided to make Caitlin a full litigator.
I know it's fast.
But with Will gone, we need everybody to step up.
I understand.
But you disagree?
I think Caitlin is good. She's very quick.
I think she needs some time to get comfortable.
I threw you in over your head
and you didn't take long to get comfortable.
That's true.
Good. Then can I ask you a favor?
Would you mind sharing your assistant?
Just until we get one?
Sure. Great.
It's just for a few weeks.
And it'll give you a chance to help supervise her.
Mm-hmm.
Thanks.
Hello there.
And, David.
What do you need?
I have never shown an interest in management.
No, you haven't.
I like doing. I don't like...
helping others do.
But I'm stepping up because I think there are people
who have an eye on Will's office.
They pretend to have the firm's interests at heart,
but what they really want
is their name on the letterhead and an equal vote with you.
And you're stepping up for...?
Taking Will's place.
(chuckles)
No, David. You would hate it.
You hate people.
I don't hate people.
I hate... some people.
I am being selfless here.
Well, um, let me consider it.
Here's the thing.
When Will comes back, you know I'll give up the seat.
I don't want the seat.
So you know I'll give it up.
Thank you, David.
I hear the 911 tape miraculously surfaced.
I told you I would look into it. Yeah.
I just thought you needed a little... nudge.
Next time, don't drag the City into your mess.
You're in a bad mood.
I am.
So you'll drop the request to implead?
911 OPERATOR: 911. What's your emergency?
AIDAN: Oh, my God, she's going to jump.
911 OPERATOR: Who is going to jump?
AIDAN: There's a girl on the Glenhurst Bridge.
She climbed over the railing. I can't get to her.
911 OPERATOR: We're dispatching an officer now.
AIDAN: Please hurry!
Your Honor, this tape has not been authenticated.
We obtained it directly from the state's attorney's office.
Overruled. Your Honor, we ask for a short recess.
SERENA: Granted.
She's scrambling.
You screw up a grand jury investigation,
and I'm the one getting the demotion?
It's... it's not a demotion.
I'm being moved out of felony review.
That's a demotion.
To-to free you up more for court.
Did your girlfriend put you up to this?
ASA Lodge is not my girlfriend, and this is my decision.
Good thing you're not the final word around here.
Deputy.
Lockhart-Gold.
Sounds almost regal, doesn't it?
(chuckles)
Let me just save you the energy
and repeat what I've already told the others... I...
am not the others. Eli.
You only just became an equity partner a few months ago.
And Obama was only a U.S. senator for two years
before he announced his candidacy. Eli...
You're going to be running the governor's campaign.
I don't know if I am.
Things are in flux.
Well, I'm holding the spot for Will.
We can outvote you.
We?
Me and my... fostered relationships.
So you're no longer the last kid picked for the mutiny.
Congratulations.
It's your choice, Diane.
Either you decide, or...
you let the others decide for you.
(doorbell rings)
Hi there.
Hi. Uh...
I'm looking for Will?
He's in the shower.
I'm his sister Sara. Come on in.
Oh. Hi.
And this is his younger sister Aubrey.
Hi. Hello.
Uh, I'm Kalinda.
Oh, what a sweet name.
Thank you.
SARA: So, it's odd.
William has this whole other life we never get to glimpse.
Do you work with him?
I do.
On this case he's on? The suicide case?
Yeah.
Sit down. Here. We don't bite.
Not hard, anyway.
Can I get you anything to drink, Kalinda?
A beer, maybe some wine?
Are you on the clock right now?
Kalinda. Hi.
William.
We were just getting better acquainted with Kalinda.
Mm-hmm.
She says you're not dating.
Oh. Dear God. Do you have a moment, Will?
Oh, I'm sorry, you guys probably want to talk in private.
Just ignore them.
Nice meeting you.
So. Family, huh?
Yeah. What's going on?
You need to get back to work.
I'm suspended, Kalinda. There's a lot of movement.
Yeah. David Lee and Julius. I figured.
Eli, too.
They want to fill the vacuum.
Just... just show your face. No.
Thanks, but... I need to make a go of this.
Everything good with Alicia's case? Yeah.
You, uh... you gave her my case, too?
Will... if this is your way
of trying to make things better between us...
No.
It's my way of trying to save your ass.
Your, uh, sisters seem interesting.
Yep.
Could you get them arrested?
Ms. Norris.
When you worked on this film, were there rules for the crew
as to how to handle potential jumpers?
Yes. The rules were carefully spelled out.
If someone stepped over the railing onto the ledge,
we were to call 911. I see.
So if someone was standing on the bridge
for say, 40 minutes, looking down at the water, crying,
that wouldn't trigger a 911 call?
No. Just someone over the railing.
CROZIER: The defense has admitted evidence that it takes,
on average, 48 minutes for the police to respond
to a potential jumper.
If you wait until someone is on the ledge,
how many lives did you actually save?
No one.
It was nice to hear from you again so soon, Donna.
I've been told by your friends
you are someone worth getting to know better.
They've been filling up my phone sheet all week.
I hope they haven't been too aggressive.
There's nothing wrong with aggressive.
Long as they don't start showing up at my house.
(laughs)
Well, I'm an open book.
What would you like to know?
Forgive me for being blunt...
but are you and your wife still living apart?
We are.
For the moment.
But we're committed to making our marriage work.
I'm glad to hear that.
It would be my pleasure to meet her someday.
ELI: Maybe someday in September?
In Charlotte?
I already said she knew I was going on a ski trip.
Yeah, but you also said
that you didn't speak with her that weekend.
And we have phone records
to show that you spoke with her for 37 minutes.
You argued, didn't you?
No. Stop blaming me for this.
You lied on the stand, Derek.
What did you argue about?
We didn't argue.
All right. Then you talked.
What did you talk about?
She said she wasn't coming back to school next year.
Because of you? No.
It wasn't her choice.
Look, I'm sorry I lied.
I just didn't want anyone to think I was responsible.
Then who is responsible?
I'm sorry, Mr. Anderson.
I know this is difficult for you.
I just have one question.
All right.
When did you inform your daughter that you would
no longer be paying her college tuition?
CROZIER: Objection, Your Honor.
Relevance?
Any financial hardship or pressure placed
on the victim is relevant to a lawsuit
about what motivated her to commit suicide.
Please answer the question, Mr. Anderson.
We had an agreement that she had to maintain at least a 3.8 GPA.
But she failed her final exams.
I understand.
But my question was:
When did you tell her you were no longer supporting her?
Two days before she died.
Thank you.
We'll give you a disclaimer at the beginning of the movie.
CROZIER: Your client can still be held liable.
It doesn't matter who else you try and blame.
It does to a jury.
A disclaimer, plus a donation of half the film's profits
to a suicide awareness campaign.
So how does Mexican sound for dinner?
Should we make a reservation for three or four?
P.M.?
No, people.
My math's a little rusty, but...
Oh, no, no. Come on.
We want to get to know Kalinda better.
I like her.
And I don't like any of your girlfriends.
I am not dating Kalinda.
I am not dating anyone. You're pining for her.
I can see... You work together.
It's natural. You need someone special in your life, Will.
You need organization.
You're not getting any younger.
Women think it's cute now.
In another five years...
Roger did so much for my life.
You think you don't need a spouse.
Especially now.
You're out of work.
You need someone.
(elevator bell dings)
DIANE: You lasted a full week.
I'm impressed.
Could have lasted longer.
You have my sisters to thank for that.
I'll send flowers.
You know I can't practice law.
I know. But you can offer updates on your ongoing cases.
Did we fire Caitlin? No.
We promoted her.
Anything else I should know about?
Just that I can't promise that everyone will be
quite so pleased to see you back.
