The Good Wife

Any other weapons of any kind?

Well, knives. Do they count?

Can I see them, please?

No, that's fine.

And which room would your husband inhabit?

So, if the judge

Approves electronic monitoring,

I'll need a small space by the front door for the receiver.

Do you have wi-fi?

Yes. I'll have to test it

To make sure there's no interference.

Now... I have to ask your children some questions,

If you don't mind.

What kind of questions?

Eh, nothing invasive.

Same questions I asked you.

Please.

Zach, grace.

Yeah?

Do either of you have contraband in your rooms?

Grace: No. Any firearms?

No.

Any other weapons?

No.

Great. That should do it.

Excuse me, sheriff.

Hello.

Diane: Hi, alicia, it's diane.

We need you right away.

Now?

Yes, I'm sorry, it's very important.

And can you bring a few things?

Toiletries, clothing for 48 hours, and a man's tie.

Sonya, I'm so sorry. (sobbing)

Shh. Oh, oh.

What is it about?

I don't know.

I'll call you as soon as I find out.

Will you be all right? Oh, yes,

We'll be fine.

Mrs. Kelzick is downstairs--

A phone call away.

Is peter really coming home?

I don't know.

They do this to prepare.

We'll see.

Cary: So, does your face turn into, like, a cow's head or something?

You never did mushrooms in the peace corps?

Hey, I was with the good kids.

So when is something supposed to happen?

About an hour.

No. No...

Cary, I know you were supposed to have tomorrow off,

But we need you in now.

Um... What?

¶ cary's high on mushrooms ¶

Why, what...? Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, okay.

Collecting the troops.

Put everything on hold for 48 hours, okay?

Um... ¶ mushroom's high on cary ¶

¶ cary's high on mushrooms. ¶

Hey.

You there?

I just got here.

What do you know?

Diane's with the wife now.

How bad does it look?

Bad.

See what you can do, okay?

Hey, kalinda, what you doing here?

I just got a deposition get canceled.

I saw your lights.

What's up?

Homicide in the suburbs.

Better than cirque du soleil.

Who is it?

Female, no id, looks about 20.

Security guard says it's the babysitter.

What is it, burglary gone wrong?

Come on, it's making me nostalgic.

I got a police scanner at home to keep me company.

Hey, k, what's up?

Hi, tony.

Just wanted to see the professionals at work.

Civilians aren't welcome.

What?

Come on, lou, she's a friendly.

She scratches our back, we scratch hers.

All right, I've got the security guard in here.

The kids were fine; she took them to their grandparents.

I said that she should wait for you guys here,

That you'd want to talk to her and mr. Rucker.

Mr. Rucker was with her?

No, it was just her. I don't see

The babysitter's car.

Who picks her up and drops her off?

Mr. Rucker. Husband?

Yeah. He's like a stay- at-home dad, right?

Yeah-- yes, sir.

He just lost his job.

He's out of work.

Do you know where mr. Rucker is now?

At the movies.

We get a babysitter on Thursday evenings

So my husband can take the night off.

Otherwise he's home all day.

Have you been in touch with jason yet?

No, no. I-I mean, I've been trying his cell.

Okay.

Could you write down his number?

You don't think they'll think jason...?

We have to prepare for everything.

Hi, you've reached jason rucker.

Please leave a message.

Mr. Rucker, this is will gardner.

I'm a partner at the law firm

That represents your wife's company.

When you get this message, would you give me a call?

It's extremely important.

Struggle here...

Here.

Blood spray. Crenellated.

More struggle, more defensive spray.

Handprint on the wall.

What's this?

Looks like the rubber nub from under

A computer.

Just a guess.

Lou: Oh, boy.

Is that the babysitter?

Yes.

Lisa pruitt.

I-I found...

She was in my bathroom.

I'm sorry to ask this, sonya,

But our investigator on the scene is saying

There was marijuana.

Did jason smoke pot?

No.

In college.

Why?

Sorry, you're...?

You get that a lot?

Less so. Sorry, I'm a news junkie.

Your husband-- I heard he's getting out.

Oh, I don't know.

It changes day to day.

I hope he does.

Thank you. (elevator bell dings)

Man: Which floor?

Oh, you just pressed it.

Oh, you work at stern, lockhart.

Maybe you know what this is all about.

Something about my wife's company?

Sorry. Junior associate- I'm the last to know.

if there's anything, you just...

Jason.

What's wrong?

What happened?

Mr. Rucker, do you have a second?

It's not a knife.

Those aren't deep enough for knife wounds.

Looks like a blunt instrument.

Maybe it's something from the bedroom.

Check the fireplace poker downstairs.

It's missing.

But I just saw her. You just saw her--

The babysitter--

When you picked her up? Yes.

I picked her up at her dorm,

And I drove her to...

I'm in trouble?

I'm the last one that saw her.

They'll suspect me? Yes.

Oh, my god.

Then why...?

I need to go to the police, don't I?

Will: I just spoke to them.

I agreed to surrender you in the morning,

But these first few hours

Of an investigation are always the most important.

Anything can be misinterpreted.

Jason: Won't my coming here be misinterpreted?

Unfortunately, it's a risk we're going to have to take.

This early in an investigation,

It's all about leverage,

And you have the right to remain silent,

So our leverage is

How much access we allow the police.

They want more, we want less,

So we're the gatekeepers to you.

Cary: Yep.

We're going to have you take

A polygraph, mr. Rucker.

It's not about truth

Or innocence.

I'm sorry, a lie detector test?

Yes, I need information

So I know how much to let you talk

versus how much to keep you silent.
