The Good Fight

Evening.

All right.

Eh, we're getting reports some mutt is casing residences

by, uh, McKinley Park.

Now, we got our numbers on break-ins down

last month, so special attention there, all right?

Uh... some complaints

regarding RMPs double-parked in front of Portillo's.

If you're there on dinner break, find someplace else to park.

Well, what if it's not on our dinner break?

Moving on.

Uh... All right, listen up.

"Pursuant to a consent decree

between the City and various plaintiffs

suing for actions alleged to have been taken by members

of the Chicago Police Department,

attorneys from firms so designated by a magistrate

will be granted access to CPD operations in the field."

And that means?

We got company. There's some lawyers here

who'll be doing ride-alongs tonight.

Uh... as the chief of patrol has directed,

the department will be in full compliance

with the terms of said consent decree.

The following units

will have one such attorney riding along with them:

uh... Sector Charlie.

And Sector David.

Come on, let's remember,

we're on the same side with this. All right?

That's it.

Be safe.

Here we go.

There's one for you and one for you.

Liability waiver?

It's for our lawyers. I'm sure you understand.

"The undersigned

hereby agrees to assume the risk of death, personal injury,

and/or property damage."

I wouldn't worry too much about that with Charlie Sector.

What about David Sector?

Make sure you sign all the pages.

- We can always change sectors. - No.

No, no, no. I'm up for it.

- Maia Rindell. Let's go. - Yes.

- Put this on. - Wh... is this a bulletproof vest?

No, it's a stab-proof vest.

Protects against knives and, uh, thrown acid.

- Oh. Fun times. - Yeah.

- Lucca Quinn? This way. - Yeah.

Okay.

The move has provoked

widespread protests throughout the Middle East,

with Hezbollah leader, Hassan Nasrallah, calling it

"undisguised American aggression."

In response, President Trump tweeted,

"Mr. Nasrallah looks like

a stupid fat Santa in a turban..."

German Chancellor Merkel

called the comment by the American president:

"Unhelpful..."

I do the most

least amount of bragging...

... Word "house" instead of "hole."

As in, "shit house..."

Now let's see how our friends on the farm are doing.

I'm tired.

I can't sleep either.

We'll have to count little boys and girls.

How can you sleep when Donald Trump is president?

Just look at North Korea.

They've got their missiles pointed right at us, and...

Are you tired of being tired? Sick of being sick?

- Hello? - Hey, invite me over right now.

Tully?

Yeah. Come on. Let's have a glass of wine.

Tully, I'm in bed.

Ooh. What're you wearing?

We said it was a one-night thing, Tully.

Where are you? It sounds like someone's being killed.

I'm downtown.

The police are overreacting.

Hey, guys, keep it down.

I'm on the phone.

What are you protesting now?

Come on down and find out. It's, uh, very exciting.

No. I think I'm in for the night.

- Um, stay safe. - Diane.

Now wait. You know we-we had something great going, right?

That's my call-waiting. Good night.

- Who is that, your other lover? - Good night.

Don't kill anyone.

Hello?

Still me. See, I think subconsciously you wanted it

to be me...

- Hello? - Diane.

Sorry to call you at home.

Oh, no, I'm awake.

The network wants to broadcast something on its morning show,

and they're getting some pushback.

We're outside counsel

and we only have eight hours to sort this out.

Well, who's the pushback coming from?

Old friend of yours.

- Mr. Burl Preston. - Yes, it's me.

And I've forgotten your name.

- Diane Lockhart. - Diane.

And this is my partner in crime, Adrian Boseman.

Mr. Preston.

I heard your house burned down.

- I'm sorry. - Dangers of canyon living.

Don't cry for me, I have two more.

And I heard clients are killing lawyers in Chicago.

Yes, one or two.

Well, you're taking it well.

Well, Chicago. We're used to worse.

Uh, we're just in with our clients right now, Mr. Preston.

We'll be out to get you in a few minutes.

Sure, I'll just sit here.

After four hours jetting into a snowstorm, why not?

I got all the time in the world.

You're the ones who are in such a hurry

to air this nonsense.

It's not a black and white situation, Greg.

There are photos of the woman arm-in-arm with him.

- Is he here? - Yeah.

Is he mad?

What?

Is it gonna be a testy negotiation?

I don't think it's going to be a negotiation at all.

This is a First Amendment issue.

You have a news story. It's yours to broadcast or not.

Unless it's defamatory.

- Well, there's no reason... - Well, let's not get

ahead of ourselves, okay?

Okay, okay, okay, wait. Carter is our in-house counsel.

He keeps us from doing anything stupid.

Reddick/Boseman,

you defend us if we end up doing anything stupid.

So we all have a role here.

And we have seven hours to figure out

whether to broadcast this story.

So let's start.

So what's this about?

You stay with us, and give us a report card?

Yeah. And offer suggestions on the law

and how it can be obeyed.

And, what, we get, like, a grade on our windshield?

- Like those restaurants? - And everybody avoids

getting arrested by a car with a "C."

So you do this every night?

No, once a month.

And other lawyers from other firms follow other cops.

Aren't you guys dodging bullets these days?

That's right. People hate you lawyers.

I thought we were hated.

It's overblown. It was just a few lawyers.

What about that lawyer that hanged himself yesterday?

You know, people aren't thinking he did it,

it was done to him.

Who was that?

I don't know his name.

It was over in Highland Park,

- I think. - Hey.

Here comes the big action for the night.

Get ready.

There it is!

- Every single night. - Readjusting the package.

vicinity of Code Five.

Aah.

The list of prominent men accused

of sexual harassment continues to grow

even six months after Harvey Weinstein.

Now the biggest

and potentially most explosive name

has been added to the list. Kip Dunning...

- Pause here. - "Please."

Please.

We obviously object to the story

top to bottom, and will immediately

sue for damages, but I want to point out

how sloppy this story is. "Alleged."

Where is the word "alleged"?

- So you'd like that added to the copy? - No.

As I already stated,

this whole story is defamatory and should be cut.

So can we move on, please?

Certainly. Play.
