The Good Wife

Ripped By mstoll

Alicia.

Yes?

Would you want to run for state's attorney?

What?

Would you want to run for state's attorney?

I... Heh.

- No. - Why not?

Why not? Eli, are you serious?

Yes, I've been watching you for the last five years.

You'd be perfect.

We need a woman,

and people respect you.

- They like you... - I'm not a politician, Eli.

But you have political instincts.

And you're a brand.

- You're St. Alicia. - Oh.

Well, you said you want something new.

The empty-nest syndrome. Zach's gone now.

Yes, and I have another child.

Is this about Peter?

- Did he tell you to ask me? - No, no.

Then, why are you doing this?

I'm never saying yes.

Because you could win.

Hello?

- Yeah, it's me. - What's wrong?

- Nothing. I think we need to talk. - We did talk.

You yelled at me. I yelled at you.

- Is it Peter? - Diane called.

She wants to meet tomorrow for breakfast to talk terms.

Great. What time?

No, I didn't say that we would meet.

She wants to bring us $38 million in business.

- I don't see the downside. - Losing our culture,

co-opting ourselves by becoming Lockhart, Florrick and Agos.

So we'll have the breakfast,

and then we'll decide if we want to be co-opted, okay?

I'll call her, set it up.

Hey. Where are you?

Why?

- Because I want to talk. - You did talk.

- Can everyone just give me a break? - Sure.

Maybe you should call everyone.

Look, I made a mistake.

Things have been a bit out of control lately, but I want to make it up, okay?

Coral Bar.

Better hurry up because I'm not waiting.

Good. I'll see you at 10.

- Don't you dare turn around. - Drop the keys.

Look straight ahead.

You move one inch...

or I will put one in the back of your head.

- Hands behind your back. - Move.

Don't shoot. Get your arm.

Don't you resist me. I'll break your arm.

What do you have in your pocket?

Anything gonna stick me? Anything sharp?

- No. - Are you sure?

- Yes. - Lose the attitude.

Just a wallet.

What did I do?

- Shut up. - Let's go.

- Yeah? - Hey. Where are you?

Uh, who is this?

Damn, Kalinda, I'm offended. You really don't know who this is?

- Sophia. - Yeah, don't sound so surprised.

Where are you?

Me? Where are you?

I am finishing up a case. I feel like celebrating.

- Keep me company? - No, thank you.

- Kalinda. - I'm meeting somebody.

- Who? - Somebody.

A guy.

Okay.

I can take you both on. Where are you?

- Good night, Sophia. - Come on.

I'm lonely. And horny.

Yeah. Good luck with that.

I was supposed to meet someone, can I just... Can I just tell them I'll be late?

Oh, sure. I'll pull right over.

Yeah, you want some ice cream? Ha, ha.

Still want to meet up?

Dispatch, this is 2-Radford regarding that 23103...

I think I'm gonna be sick.

Hello?

Detective?

I haven't been given my call yet.

I know my rights. I've been here six hours,

and I haven't gotten my call.

Thank you.

Seriously?

Look, I have a Sixth Amendment right to be informed of the charges against me.

I have the right to an attorney.

You know who has the hardest time getting arrested?

Lawyers. You know why?

- Because we know our rights. - No.

You think you're at the Four Seasons.

You asked for your Sixth Amendment rights, it'll come, just not right away.

The kitchen's a little busy. Might take a little while.

In the meantime, be patient.

We'll get to you.

- This is harassment. - No, it's worse.

It's inefficiency.

Should we do this another time?

No, let's start.

I'll fill Cary in when he gets here.

I have 45 clients I intend to bring to Florrick/Agos.

I lose 12 to Lockhart Gardner.

Won't Canning and David Lee come after the rest?

Not if I don't tell them I'm leaving.

That sounds familiar.

But I have demands first. Kalinda.

- She needs to come with me. - We have Robyn.

Kalinda's better. It's a deal-breaker.

I have to talk to Cary.

They have a certain...

...relationship that might prove difficult.

If the answer is no, then I need to know now.

- I'll let you know by the end of the day. - Good. Here's the big one.

I expect an equal vote with Cary and you.

You can still out-vote me two-to-one, but I bring with me prestige.

And 38 million.

I expect an equal vote.

I can't decide that on my own. It'll matter to Cary.

Like this meeting mattered to him?

Alicia,

we have a chance to make this the largest firm in the country

run by women.

Think about it.

Cary, look, if you're not interested in our future, just let me know, okay?

And I'll start making decisions on my own.

Call me by 3, or I am gathering the partners together for a vote.

I was awake.

- Okay? - You were asleep.

And I heard what the charge was against you.

You did? What?

Drugs.

Okay, on your feet. Let's go.

Let's see here.

Did you guys get any breakfast?

- What the hell did he just say? - What?

What the hell did he just say about where to walk?

- I have no idea what you're talking about. - You stay to the right, jackass.

That side is for the people,

this side is for the scum, do you understand me?

Just do what I do.

Let me see your hands.

- It's kind of dark in there. - Inside.

Hands.

Walk.

Step forward.

Where's Cary?

Breakfast with you, I thought.

He didn't make it.

I'll try him at home.

Hey.

- I know you. - I didn't do anything.

- This is my space. - No, no, no. Wait, wait.

- You're a Lockhart Gardner client now. - What?

- No. What? - Look,

do you want to make a hundred dollars?

A hundred and 50 dollars cash bond, payable on release.

Let's go, let's boogie.

I hate this. Why am I doing this?

Look, he's the son of a top client. Canning couldn't make it.

Here he comes.

David Howell.

Mail fraud, third offense.

Dear God. I can understand the second time.

But the third time, you'd think he'd catch on.

David. How are you?

I'm David Lee, I represent your family law business...

- I'm supposed to give you a message. - I've been asked to handle your hearing.

There's a lawyer in lockup that wants me to give you a message.

Look, only one of us can talk at a time.

What lawyer?

Um, well, wait.

It starts with a C. Uh...

Craig? Lanz.

- Lanz. - Uh, no.

No. Vargas.

No. Something.

Uh, he's a lawyer and he's in lockup.

But he works for another firm.

Cary.

Agos? Is that the name of the lawyer?

No, Lanz. Cary Lanz.

Is Cary there, Alicia?

No, he's not. Why?

Is there any chance he was arrested?

- ASA Polmar? - Finn, it's Alicia. I need your help.

- Why? What's wrong? - My partner is in central holding.

All right, let's go. Who's next?

- Thanks for doing this. - Alicia, no problem.

But I don't think you're gonna want to thank me.

- Why? - I just found out I'm the ASA.

- On Cary's case? - Yeah.

- Across from me? - Yeah.

Well, this should prove interesting.
