The Good Fight

How do you feel?

Good.

Why?

Because I'm in control.

How long will it last?

As long as I want it to.

Oh.

Sorry. I thought I'd turned it off.

The world calls.

So is he here?

Yes, his flight was delayed,

- but we're on our way to you right now. - No, I'm not

at the office, take him to court.

What about witness prep?

Do it on the way. Me?

Yes. You know the case, and there's no time.

He'll go right on the stand when he gets there.

Sure, he is shit.

Chance The Rapper sings like shit.

Oh, my fucking God, you're making my head hurt.

Avi, wait, we need to witness prep.

You need to let Jay drive,

and you and I need to witness prep right now.

How far are we from court?30 minutes.

Can we go any faster?

If you want us to get pulled over, yes.

Julius Cain, he is one of our partners,

he's gonna be questioning you.

Now, he will ask for your name and occupation.

And you'll answer?

With my name and occupation.

Which are?

Are we afraid I'll forget it?

Avi, I need to see how you are on the stand.

Avi Epps,

I organize Birthright tours in Israel.

The defendant has been accused of using Birthright money

to bribe foreign officials.

Now, do you know this not to be true?

I do... uh, know this not to be true.

Good. She's an awful woman,

but she's not corrupt.

No, no, no, you can't say that.

- Why? It's true. You're fucking kidding me.

No, it is.

Naftali sleeps with every...

You were driving too fast?

Shut up.

- Let me do the talking. - Are you nuts?

License and registration.

- You all right, miss? - Yes.

We're just running a bit late, Officer.

- For? - Court.

We work at Reddick, Boseman & Lockhart, a law firm.

- And you are? - Hello, American police officer.

He's scheduled to testify

in federal court, and we are, like I say,

running a little bit late.

- You asking us to hurry? Uh, no.

I'm just sharing information.

What's in the bag?

I carry it with me on the plane.

I asked you what's inside it,

not how it got here.

- Please step out of the car. Officer,

just out of curiosity, why were we pulled over?

I need you all out of the car, that's why you were pulled over.

Come on. Maia, stop.

Let's go.

Any weapons in the bag?

Anything that'll stick...

I've sent both my daughters on Birthright.

...free of responsibility.

This is more bullshit.

Ms. Amado, did you not promise me

that you would refrain from any outbursts?

Why do I refrain when everyone else is talk, talk, talk?

Because you have two attorneys here

- talking for you. No.

It's because I'm Jewish.

Everyone in this courtroom is Jewish.

- He is not Jewish. - Excuse me?

Ten years on the board at Temple Shalom.

That means nothing. Take off your pants.

- Let's see. Mr. Boseman,

you don't get her under control...

Apologies, Your Honor, yes.

Yes, thank you.

Jay and Maia were pulled over by the police.

It was a routine traffic stop.

Jesus Christ. I'm in touch with Maia.

She thinks they'll be here in 20.

Okay.

They've got a 30 minute recess. We should be fine.

Yeah, I wouldn't count on that. Please stand,

- place your hands on the car. - You're kidding.

These are yours?

- I have a prescription. Where is it?

In Yerushalayim.

Your drugs, your car--

You're both under arrest. Come on.

Come on!

Hands behind your back.

Why are you doing this?

Sheldon Adelson is my cousin.

This vehicle is to be impounded. You'll need to find

other means of transportation, miss.

And why am I not being arrested?

Maia, get on with Diane.

26th and Cal at noon.

We'll need bail.

Go.

Liz!

Bond court 401.

Okay.

Who did the drugs belong to?

The witness. They think they're illegal.

So why didn't they take you in?

I don't know. I mean, Jay says it was "driving while black."

Ugh, okay, I will argue for an I-bond...

What's wrong?

Nothing. Just...

- Nothing. Docket 354-A.

Male number 19.

Assault.

What have you got, ASA?

Here comes Jay.

Representing the arrestee.

God. I'm happy to see you guys.

What happened to Avi?

He's in the group two after mine.

You all right? Yeah.

Should have had Maia drive.

They're ICE.What?

Those four.

They're plainclothes immigration agents.

I recognize them from the DOJ.

I think they're here for you.

Me? Why?

You don't have any issues?

- With citizenship? - No.

- You have your birth certificate? - Somewhere.

What, are you sure about this?

I think so.

Well, whatever Jay's status,

people can be hard to reach once they get taken in.

I know. This is how it works.

They wait outside criminal courts, take them in.

358-A.

Male number 21, drug possession.

What have you got, ASA Timmons?

Mr. Dipersia is a flight risk

given his codefendant recently arrived from overseas.

Any mitigation from the defense?

Yes, Your Honor. But first,

it is our understanding

that Chicago is a sanctuary city.

So we are surprised to find

four immigration officers working

with the county sheriffs.

Your Honor, I have no idea what Counselor is referring to.

Well, let's ask her. What are you referring to?

Those four men

back there. They are ICE agents.

Gentlemen, is this true?

Are you immigration enforcement?

With all due deference, ma'am, you cannot ask us that.

Come here.

I said come here.

Ma'am?

It's "Your Honor."

Your Honor.

It's, uh, still true

that we live in a democracy.

But the fact is, in these four walls,

you're in a monarchy.

And where I'm sitting is the throne.

Now, when I ask you a question,

I want an answer,

or else I will hold you and your colleagues in contempt.

What's your name?

Patrick Basehart. Why are you here?

I'm a lawyer with Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

We have a detainer notice for Jay Dipersia.

Counselor,

for purposes of setting bail,

can you speak to some factors in your client's favor?

We have nothing to offer in mitigation, Your Honor.

We request bail to be set at $1,000.

We cannot pay that amount at this time, Your Honor.

Well, then I'll set bail at $100.

Still too burdensome, Your Honor.

Only ten dollars is due today.

That amount is simply too high.

Your Honor, this is clearly a trick.

The defendant is remanded

to the custody of Cook County until such time

as he can post bail.

Next.

Okay, they can't touch you while you're in here.
