The Good Fight

Ms. Reddick, what's the one word you have

for the way today makes you feel?

Proud.

232 years, and finally

there's a Black female Supreme Court justice.

Yes, and Ketanji Brown Jackson will be one of the best.

Were you proud

when Clarence Thomas became a Supreme Court justice?

Well, that... Uh, that's another matter.

- Because of his politics? - Well, not-not just that.

Uh, I think Justice Scalia said...

And yes, I'm about to cite Antonin Scalia...

But he said about Thomas:

"I am an originalist, but I am not a nut."

And also, there's the business

of Justice Thomas's wife a few months ago...

- Ginni Thomas? - Yes. Yes. Uh,

it besmirched the court and the country.

You're talking about her texts with the White House

- after the 2020 election? - Yes, it was, it was unhinged.

She was speaking to the president's chief of staff,

Mark Meadows, about a coup, basically.

I mean, how does that not infect her husband's judgement?

Well, thank you for coming on this morning, Ms. Reddick.

Thank you.

And we're clear.

That's it, thanks.

Thank you, ma'am, it was nice meeting you.

- Thank you, good interview. - Thanks.

- Oh. Right. (Chuckles) Yes.

- Thank you. - No, no. Thank you.

We're in a weird time.

Yeah.

Thank you.

Hey, Jay, we need to get our security in order.

Why? What's going on?

No, no, no. I just...

I-I think we're just taking this

all a bit too blithely.

Okay. I'll see you when you get in.

Gentlemen. May I see your badges?

Hey, Diane, where are you?

I'm, uh, at the doctor's.

I will, uh, be right in.

Okay. Um, listen.

I think we really need to get serious about the firm's security.

Yeah, I-I agree. Wh-What happened?

No, uh, nothing new. I'll just... I'll see you in an hour.

Hello?

Let me get that.

We should make sure your phone is off next time.

Yeah. I-I have to get to work anyway.

But you didn't have a full treatment.

Yeah. Maybe next time.

I'm FBI Agent Plummer.

- And this is Agent Emmerich. - What's wrong?

We want to talk to you alone

about the incidents of the last week.

Sir, do you mind?

I'd rather stay.

This is a courtesy to Ms. Gold.

We need to speak to her alone.

I'd rather he stay.

Authorities are still unable to locate the armed man

who targeted your father and killed Frank Landau.

We also don't believe this is an isolated event.

What does that mean?

Well, the ballistics and the manner of the shooting

fit a pattern of other shootings carried out by Totenkopf USA.

- "Totenkopf"? - It's a white supremacist group.

They take the name from one of Hitler's elite units.

We're here to suggest you take precautions.

Such as what? Stop being Jewish?

This isn't funny, Ms. Gold.

No shit.

That's how she deals with serious things.

She-she jokes.

We advise that you vary your route to and from work.

Notice any strange vehicles parked near your home.

I'll check the street and the lot.

We've been monitoring the chatter of the Totenkopf.

They have talked about wearing green shoelaces.

So I should look for green shoelaces?

If you see anyone following you, or anyone suspicious,

you should call us.

Put these numbers in your phone.

We'll stay in touch.

You all right?

I want to buy a gun.

We start with podcasts,

but the goal is to finance two limited series a year.

That's great.

Give me two weeks to gather my best cases.

Perfect.

Uh, I do have a smaller issue, if you don't mind.

Uh, of course. Uh, should we sit down?

No, no, no, no. This won't take long.

So, I got these papers from my wife.

Oh, no, I'm-I'm sorry...

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, we're happy.

Yeah, this is not a divorce. Um...

Morgan's five months pregnant now.

And, uh, well, she wants me to sign

this thing called a "push-nup".

Uh, you mean a "postnup"?

No. "Push-nup".

Apparently, it's slang

for an agreement between prospective parents.

You pay your wife to have a baby?

As she says,

it's her body, it's her morning sickness,

and she's undercutting her own career

by taking time off to raise the child.

So Morgan says marriage gets a contract,

so why shouldn't motherhood?

Well, I can think of a few reasons.

I don't mind signing

a piece of paper or two... You know, if it makes her happy.

She... she is so afraid of giving up her life.

Understood. I suggest we use

a time-honored legal tactic.

We stall.

Send her lawyer over.

Are you getting off?

What does that say?

Uh... "BUB".

What does that mean?

I think it's an acronym.

Ah, I think you're right.

Are you going up or down?

That depends on the day.

I'm going down.

Oh...

Oh, I like that color on you.

Thank you?

- May I help you? - Uh, Elsbeth Tascioni.

I'm here for Mr. Lane. Richard Lane.

- Oh, uh, "Ri'Chard". - (gasps) Yes. Oh, sorry.

Ri'Chard.

Do you want a paperweight?

What?

I started, um...

blowing glass during the pandemic.

Well, first, I baked sourdough,

but then I gained 20 pounds, so...

Here you go.

I call this one "Winter Dream".

Elsbeth?

Julius, how are you?

- Good, good. - (laughs)

- Well, why are you here? - Oh.

Um, I am supposed to be

in a meeting... Here, this is for you.

Oh. Thank you?

What's that color called?

Uh, I don't know. Blue? (Chuckles)

No, blue is more...

Could you point me to Ri'Chard Lane's office?

Here.

Oh. (Claps hands) Perfect.

Wow! Wait, this is your office?

Uh, it is. Um, how may I help you?

Oh. I represent Morgan Johnstone.

Ah, yes. The enigmatic "push-nup".

: Yeah.

Good name, huh?

Yes, all attempts to change the law start with the good names.

Yeah.

You're right.

"Palimony".

I hadn't thought of that.

Uh, come on in. Um, I'm here with Mr. Johnstone.

Oh. Ooh.

Wow, look at those screens.

Do you have movie nights in here?

Uh, no, but, um, good idea.

Uh, have you met Mr. Johnstone before?

- Oh. No. Hello. - Hi.

Ah, your wife is such a kick.

Oh, thank you, yes, Ms... What is it again?

- Tascioni. Tascioni.

Oh, and congratulations on becoming a daddy.

- (Carter chuckles) - (laughs)

And a piano.

Do you play?

Uh, from time to time.

And those glasses. Ooh, those are wild.

- Can I try those on? - No.

Um, what can we do for you?

Oh.

Here.

I call this one "Candy Floss".

And... here...

you... go.

What is this?

Copies of our estimates for various stages

of childbirth and child-rearing.

Uh, open to negotiation, of course.

Of course.

Morgan wants to be fair. So do I.
