The Good Fight

Are you all right?

I think so. You?

Yeah. Wow.

Yes.

Wow.

You're very calm.

No, no, that-that is not what I heard.

- Because you're listening to Fox. - I am not listening to Fox.

What is it? What happened?

- A car bomb next door. - Reaching all the way up here?

- It was parked on the top floor. - Who did it? - I don't know.

It was antifa or the militia.

It was the militia.

- Was anyone hurt? - No one knows.

I certainly hope not.

We cannot keep working like this.

I agree, so how do we know it was the militia or antifa?

- We don't exactly know. - We don't know.

We guess.

And no one else is left in the building?

We-we haven't checked.

We're-we're getting out of here.

Yeah.

That's a fucking car bomb. That's what that is.

- Anybody hurt? - Some flying windows, broken glass, but no injuries.

It's the militia, right?

Is anyone taking responsibility?

- No one yet. - It's from the protests, Your Honor.

Well, I'm sure they'll tell us when to clear the building.

Let's get back to it.

Please continue, Mr. Sheen.

Mr. Gold, were you involved

in the planning and carrying out of the

so-called "Democratic Watergate"?

I have been advised by counsel to invoke my rights against

self-incrimination under the fifth amendment.

Mr. Gold, did you, in fact...

Your Honor, must we go through this charade?

My client intends to invoke

his fifth amendment rights to all these questions,

not because he did it, but because

- I have advised him... - Counselor,

can we just accept that Mr. Gold

is going to take the fifth?

No, Your Honor.

I would like to see his reaction

to all of my questions.

If I may continue?

Mr. Gold, did you, in June of 2020,

plan and execute the burglary of the offices

of the TV producer, Mark Burnett?

I have been advised by counsel to invoke my rights against

self-incrimination under the fifth amendment.

Does your look of horror

imply that you're scared of the truth coming out?

Objection. My client was being sarcastic.

Well, let's hold off on the sarcasm,

please. These charges are serious.

Mr. Gold, did you intend to burglarize

Mr. Burnett's offices in order to locate

and purloin outtakes from the TV show The Apprentice?

I have been advised by counsel

to invoke my rights against self-incrimination

under the fifth amendment.

Mr. Gold, did you, in fact, try

to acquire these outtakes because you believed

they showed President Donald Trump

using the "n-word"?

I have been advised by counsel

- to invoke my rights... - Mr. Gold, did you in fact...

May I finish answering, please?

I have been advised

by counsel

to invoke my rights

under the fifth amendment

of the Constitution

of the United States

of America...

...the world,

Earth.

Yeah.

Mr. Gold... ...did you, in fact,

enlist the technical know-how of your daughter,

Marissa Gold, sitting right over there, in

turning off Mr. Burnett's security system?

Objection. Not in evidence.

Oh, I understand your objection,

given that you have added Ms. Gold to your defense team

in order to prevent her from answering these very questions.

Your Honor, if Mr. Sheen wants to bring charges against

Ms. Gold, let him do it.

Otherwise, he should stop harassing my co-counsel.

Sustained.

Any more questions?

Mr. Gold, did you add your daughter to your defense team

so that she couldn't answer these questions?

- Objection, Your Honor. - Sustained.

Mr. Gold, have you noticed

how many words your daughter has said from the defense table?

Objection. Relevance.

She hasn't said any words. It's relevant

because Ms. Gold has only been a lawyer for a month,

and she's been added to your defense team

in order to prevent her from incriminating her dad.

Your Honor, can we get the objections ruled on

before the next outrageous question?

Sustained.

Counselor, if Mr. Gold is your only witness,

I think I'm going to dismiss these charges.

No, uh, I have another witness.

Uh, Your Honor,

uh, we would like to call a new witness to the stand.

Sure, another witness who will take the fifth over...

Uh, Your Honor, we ask for a short break.

Well, it seems Ms. Gold has found her voice.

Yes, we'll recess until tomorrow.

What the hell are you doing?

She's doing her job. Landau's turned on us.

Frank.

I can't talk to you, Eli.

Let's head out this way.

ELI and MARISSA: Fuck.

Dad, you and I need to talk.

Eli, we need to strategize.

You fucked me.

When did you become so foul-mouthed?

You asked for access to Pegasus, the security system.

I thought it was for a client of yours.

- You can't prove it wasn't. - Oh, my God. I never would've

given you access if I thought you were gonna do something

this stupid,

- or this sloppy. - Marissa.

This is just a bullshit hit

from the Republican attack machine.

How many phones did you hack?

Just Mark Burnett or all of NBC?

I didn't do this

because there's no proof I did this,

so this argument is a massive waste of time.

- Hello, Diane. - Hello, you two.

Here, have a flower.

One for each of you.

Thank you.

Oh, Diane, there's something shiny in your... Ow.

- It's a piece of glass. - Oh, yes,

- I had a window explode on me. - What?

Yeah, at my doctor's office.

You were near the car bomb? Are you all right?

Yes. I'm surprisingly well.

As a reminder, the... uh,

we bought two tables for the Democratic fundraiser

tomorrow night, so it'd be great if we could fill them.

Let's invite the associates.

It's not usually how we do things.

But change is good,

- right? - Well, yeah, we can

absolutely invite some of the associates.

Yeah.

Uh...

Now, regarding the budget review...

Why Democratic fundraisers?

Well, the DNC has thrown us

a lot of work over the years.

That's a valuable relationship to maintain.

Maybe we should consider

a more grassroots approach to outreach.

Meaning?

Local Black churches.

That's where we need to spend our time

- and our resources. - Okay.

We will definitely consider that. Uh...

- you can see that the projected income... - There's one other

thing I'd like to consider.

- The adjusted draw. - What's that now?

The equity partners need to receive

the original draw they were promised by STR Laurie.

Agreed, but if you, uh,

look at the earnings

- from this past quarter, I don't... - No, no.

No, this is Ri'Chard's top priority.

There is too much disparity between

the partner-level draw

and the equity-level draw.

- I need to make this right. - Agree. 100%.

Amen.

You hated my ideas.

Uh, no, it's just that you

promised something that the firm cannot deliver.

With STR Laurie's

profit participation, the money's just not there

- for the equity partners. - Uh, I have access to the books.

There are certain adjustments that could be made.

Which would affect the quality of life

here at the firm, and with people

resigning right and left...

Just, uh, let me fiddle with the numbers

and present you with a plan.

Fine.

Fine, but can...

can you... ...let me see the plan
