The Good Wife

MAN (French accent): What is your name?

Ricky Packer.

29 days.

Ah, c-could you include the question

in the answer, you know?

Yeah, yeah.

Uh, my name is Ricky Packer.

And I have 29 days left to live.

Been reading a lot of the Bible-- Job.

"When I lie down, I think, how long before I get up?"

Yes, Camus says, "Fate is not in man, but around him."

What is your crime, please?

Well, the State says double homicide,

but I don't even think they believe that.

They had some bodies they needed to put on someone.

You were saying before I switched on the camera

about the authorities.

What is it you were saying?

Oh, yeah, yeah.

I told the guards about this murder that I heard about--

Almighty Vice Lords payback on 19th.

There's a dead body buried up there in Douglas Park.

You think they care?

No. Why don't they care?

It means more work.

They go dig up some gangbanger's body, what are they gonna do?

Huh?

They gonna go find the killer?

You got here fast.

Yeah, it's called driving.

What'd you do, stop for hamburgers?

So, what is it, gang-related?

Yep. His tip was accurate.

A tip from death row-- go figure.

John Doe buried six months.

One other thing, Mr. Deputy State's Attorney.

Yeah?

You missed a button.

Thank you, ASA Lodge.

Mm-hmm.

Do we know his colors?

22nd Disciple.

- An Almighty Vice Lords reprisal? - Well, that's the thinking.

But oddly enough, that's not why you're here.

They dug up someone else.

- A citizen? - With very expensive taste.

Ed says those are

Christian Louboutin shoes.

Ed knows that?

The purse still had $300 cash in it.

Name on the driver's license was Adrianne Iver.

A missing person for six months now.

And guess what else we found in her purse.

Her boyfriend's number.

How long?

They'll be here in 20 minutes.

So what do I do?

Just what they ask.

You will be processed, photographed and fingerprinted.

They will take away all your clothes

and supply you with a Department of Corrections jumpsuit.

Our hope is you'll get bail.

You have ties to the community,

and the evidence is circumstantial.

I loved her.

I mean, we argued, but I loved her.

I-I didn't report her missing

because Adrianne said she was going back to Canada.

Alicia.

It's important.

Okay, the key thing here

is to let us do our job.

What's that about?

He's being charged with murdering his girlfriend.

What's important?

My computer's acting up again.

Yeah, I know that doesn't

quite sound as important.

Really?

I need you in this meeting, too.

Okay, I have a meeting. You got to go.

You should've told Mom no.

I did tell her no.

That's not what she said.

She said you vetted her and everything was

all right for her to run. - Why is it that

every other kid in the universe

knows about computers except you?

Your mom's a politician now.

She's adapting the truth

for her needs.

You know who gets hurt in all this?

The children. They'll talk about

your divorce and how I'm the product of a broken home.

And how I'm dating a Communist.

Bob's a Communist?

Ben.

And I broke up with him.

This is a new one. Hal.

Do you date anyone with more than one syllable?

It makes our conversations very confusing.

Didn't I say

I had a meeting?

- Tell Mom not to run. - You tell her.

She'll listen to you. I'm not the one...

Hey, old man, how you doing?

So, I got to head off

to meet the candidate.

Where are we?

A hiccup.

Actually, more than a hiccup.

You said he was clean, Eli.

I want to run him for lower office

and gear up for the 2016 presidential.

He was.

Financials are healthy,

no affairs, good to his kids.

Wow, you're bringing in Saint Alicia.

This must be serious.

More than serious.

We're dealing with the ridicule factor.

Is that a picture?

Mm-hmm.

That's something else.

Well, Giuliani dressed up in women's clothes.

He survived that.

This is different.

Okay, all right.

What do you need?

Bring him in. We'll talk about how to handle it.

Will she be here?

Alicia. And yes, I will be

in the meeting.

He's got kids.

He's gonna want to know how this'll impact his kids.

- Understandable. - You think we can survive it?

I think if we're lucky.

So what's going on here?

Heard you were under investigation.

You heard

we're under investigation?

I heard the firm's under investigation.

Look, I don't want to drag my candidate in here

and have this firm be under indictment.

No, uh, w-we're good.

We're growing and, uh,

we're-we're blooming.

Aren't we good?

Yes. Better than ever.

A rumor is often

a sign of jealous competitors.

Hello.

Hi.

We haven't met.

ASA Dana Lodge.

Kalinda Sharma.

I was just trying to...

Snake the Adrianne Iver crime scene photos?

Want to see?

Sure.

Adrianne Iver,

a 28-year-old flight attendant,

quit her job after her boyfriend proposed.

Oh, wait.

You represent her boyfriend, don't you?

Tom LaVere?

Why, yes, we do.

Ah, what a coincidence.

They fought, Adrianne tried to leave,

that didn't end well.

Tom shot her with his Walther P99 handgun.

Which was never recovered.

Yes, so few criminals make it easy for us these days.

Mr. LaVere buried the body

in a dirt lot near Douglas Park six months ago,

far from prying eyes.

And as luck would have it, this very same lot was chosen by

an Almighty Vice Lord to bury a 22nd Disciple.

So when we dug up one, we dug up the other.

So you and Cary?

Me and Cary?

You and Cary.

I don't think there is a me and Cary.

My mistake.

Hmm.

Now, uh, Mr. LaVere, our client,

he was worried about Ms. Iver's safety.

They were burglarized the week prior,

so he gave her his handgun for protection.

And it was the same handgun

that she kept in her glove compartment.

- Really? - Yeah.

So here's just another possible scenario.

Ms. Iver was driving when she came across a gangland slaying.

Oh, happens all the time.

She reached into the glove compartment for the Walther P99

when she was stopped by your Almighty Vice Lord,

who took the gun...

And shot her with her own gun?

Yeah.
