The Good Wife

You got any toys?

Open... Don't fool with me, man! Don't fool with me!

- You hear me? Open it up! - All right, all right!

- Get out the money! Come on! - Man, it's jammed!

Stop stalling, man! Stop... Don't you fool with me!

It's okay, I got it, I got it. I got the safe right here, man!

Don't you fool with me, man! I'll blast your ass!

Gimme... Gimme the damn money!

Shh.

Shh.

WOMAN (over phone): Oh, my God.

You were in a robbery? Where are you?

At a police station.

I was the only one who saw the robbery.

I didn't want you to worry.

Yeah, I'll call you back, hon. Someone's here.

Yeah, please call me back.

Yes. Bye.

It's okay if you want to finish your call.

No, I did. It's the wife, you know.

Oh, yeah, I know.

Hey, I'm Cary Agos

with the State's Attorney's office.

I wanted to thank you for helping us out here.

No problem.

Why don't we talk in private?

This is kind of a noisy room.

So, we may need you around for trial, Mr. Dolan.

You, uh, found a suspect?

No, no, but if we do, we'll need you around for trial.

Were you planning on going anywhere?

Me? No. Why?

Just you and your wife applied for passports last week.

Ah, right.

Uh, Cabo.

- Pretty pricey? - No.

No, it's, uh, it's my in-laws.

Oh, in-laws.

So... you told the officer

you didn't touch anything in the store,

and you were just looking for a squirt gun for your son.

It's his birthday today.

Why?

Well, it's just...

the police, they dusted for prints,

and they found yours on this display here.

Ah, yes.

When I entered the store, I, um,

I was looking at some of the greeting cards.

So you did touch something.

The display, yes. Why?

Oh, just trying to figure out what happened.

So you wanted to buy a greeting card, not a toy?

No, I-I wanted to buy a toy.

So why did you touch the cards?

Is-is there something wrong?

I don't think so. Is there?

I think I'd like to leave now.

I'm afraid I can't allow that, Mr. Dolan.

Why?

We're holding you for investigation.

Mr. Dolan, I'm Alicia Florrick.

Are you the public defender?

No, I'm registered with the City Bar's Pro Bono Program.

They referred your case.

- But if you'd prefer a public defender. - No.

This is crazy.

I know.

I saw a robbery and they think because

my fingerprints were on a display

that was thrown down, that I did it.

Well, actually, Mr. Dolan, the police have an eyewitness

who saw you struggle with the clerk and shoot him.

That's not true. I don't...

Okay, listen, don't say a word to anyone.

Okay?

Will you call my wife?

They took my cell.

Actually, don't call her.

- I'll call her. - Okay.

So are you following me now?

Just going where the pro bonos take me, Cary.

I don't suppose you'd let me question him more.

I mean, he's innocent, right?

Thank you, Mr. Boylan.

Are you ready?

I guess I am.

Okay, send the first one.

You take all the time you want.

Hello.

Hi.

May I help you?

No, I'm good.

There's going to be five total.

All right, walk to the line.

Turn to your left.

Touch the wall.

And turn back.

No. Not him.

Send in number two.

Walk to the line.

Were you wearing those glasses when you saw the murder?

Yeah.

Turn to your left.

No, definitely not.

He was much thinner than that.

Okay, send in number three.

: Number three, step forward.

Stop on the line.

Look in the lens.

Don't move.

That's him.

Are you sure?

That's the man you saw struggling with the cashier,

and firing two bullets

- into his head? - Yes.

Definitely.

Head back in, number three. Thank you.

Travis Dolan,

an unemployed former Parks employee.

He's broke, about to be evicted.

He's Mr. Everyman, except this Everyman

walks into a convenience store to rob it.

Doesn't count on the cashier having a gun.

Shoots him, kills him.

Sees a passing patrol car pulling up.

Puts his gun down, hides in the back of the store,

pretending to be a witness.

Prints on the gun?

No usable prints, but a solid eyewitness.

No cash taken?

Didn't have time.

The patrol car surprised him.

There was a struggle, right?

During the commission of a robbery.

You want second degree?

Offer second degree, I'll take it to him.

Once again, I look for my liaison, but where is she?

And once again, I have a job that sometimes takes me,

oddly, out of the office.

So what, I handle this meeting on my own, is that it?

You do. You're a big boy, Eli.

And Will and Diane don't bite.

Yeah, it's not them I'm worried about.

Okay, so here's my advice, Eli:

don't bite them. Okay?

Always the levelheaded one.

Okay. I need you to work with me full-time.

- Really? - Yes.

I need investigator time.

The law moves slow; I move fast.

I'm managing three campaign crises right now,

and the cheese lobby has just taken me on full-time.

Yes, the cheese lobby.

You're fast, you're a pro.

I need you full-time.

They won't let me be full-time.

That's why I'm telling them.

I don't like sharing.

And between you and me,

and whoever else you tell

once I ask you

I need someone as investigator when I leave here.

For opposition research.

That's not going to happen.

It is going to happen,

because I'm going to make it worth your while.

More money, more power, more self-reliance.

Hello, Eli. How are you?

Great. Good.

Will, how are you?

I'm good, Eli. Always a pleasure.

Julius Cain, head of litigation.

Nice to meet you.

Um, so, I've hit the ground running,

as I'm sure you're well aware,

and now I think it's time to take a breath and reassess.

No!

Ten minutes!

And I need both Alicia Florrick and Kalinda--

- what's your last name again?-- - Sharma.

Sharma, dedicated to my department full-time.

Lobbying and crisis management are a 24/7 business,

and I need 24/7 dedication.

No.

Anything else?

Am I making you money?

You are.

Am I encouraging clients to keep political business in-house?

- You are. - Then I can't be splitting

Alicia and Kalinda's time with Legal.

Alicia is supposed to be at this meeting. Where is she?

She's on a case,

a case that makes us money.

Why don't we discuss this, Eli?

We take your concerns very seriously.

He'll stay because it's in his interest to stay.

It's only in his interest to stay if we encourage cooperation.

He doesn't want cooperation.

Look at the numbers, Will.
