[THEME MUSIC PLAYS OVER TV]
Hello, America. I'm Duke Roscoe.
As always, I swear to tell the truth,
the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
I turned away from my shopping cart for a second, and she was gone.
Three months ago, 2-year-old Jamie Willens disappeared.
Her mother, Cheryl, claimed she was snatched from her shopping cart
in a Chicago grocery store.
Someone kidnapped my baby girl.
Police looked high and low for Jamie and this mysterious kidnapper...
If you have Jamie, please, please bring her home.
- and they found nothing.
Why? Because she's lying, people.
She killed her kid.
Shorter clips. Make it shorter clips. Grab the attention of the jury.
Cheryl Willens killed her baby,
and I have learned the reason Miss Willens was in the store at all.
To buy condoms.
We don't need that. Just cut it off at "killed her baby."
- Cheryl Willens' freedom. The murdering mom took her own life,
hanging herself from her closet door.
- He's a prince, isn't he? - The gift that keeps on giving.
- Do you have him from last night? - The last file.
Come on, you know you're just managing a disaster here.
DUKE: Duke Roscoe...
It's a network lawyer making one last stab at a settlement.
And you've been shedding advertisers like a dog sheds fleas.
WOMAN [OVER PHONE]: Good thing we have a lot of fleas to shed.
Really wanna go to court?
Your client committed suicide,
and you're just looking for someone to blame.
And anyway, I just got in from L.A. And ordered a massage.
Why would I wanna go back so fast?
What are you doing at that network anyway?
You used to be the cool one with all the tattoos.
- I'm still the cool one. - Shh. I'm listening to your client.
DUKE: Now, you know what?
I'm glad she's dead. That's right.
Because the more guilty people who commit suicide,
the less will crowd the courts.
Intent. Disregard.
You got a client that's out of control, Emily.
EMILY: He's not my client. The network is my client.
Yeah, well, tell your client their spokesman
is doing everything he can to raise the settlement amount.
Right now, we're at $3 million.
After Duke's show tonight, my guess is it will be up to 5. Give me a call.
We're not in a position to be charging retail.
- Don't worry, she'll come in at 2.5. - Will that be enough?
- He wants to go to trial. DIANE: Talk to him.
Tell him how unpredictable the trial is.
WILL: We just roll back on what he signs...
Yeah, I wanna go...
TIM: I just wanna be ready for cross-examination.
I figure he'll try to make me out to be a money grubber.
Don't you think?
- I don't think we wanna go to trial. - Why?
It's hard to go up against Duke's right of free speech.
Yes, but we'll have the jury's sympathy, right?
We're more likely to get a fair settlement if we don't go to trial.
But a trial will keep Jamie's face out there.
I know she's been missing a year and a half,
but I still think my daughter's alive.
You know he's still on TV saying that my wife is burning in hell?
I know.
And people say, "Don't watch it."
But he has fans and people still phoning me.
I don't have a TV show.
And I don't have anybody to listen to me.
And I can answer him in court.
Tim, you don't wanna be obsessing on this.
You talked about using that settlement money
to search for your daughter.
If we settle now, that's money you could use.
- If you go to court, I don't know if... - Do you think I should do this?
- Settle? - Yeah.
- What happened? - Lots.
Where were you? Oh, with Tim.
That's right. How is he?
He's fine. What happened?
Yeah, yeah. Come on, come on.
I'll get you caught up.
Network lawyers are coming over in an hour.
That clip from last night really did the trick.
They're settling?
Conference room in an hour.
I don't even think they watch their own show.
They're afraid of the bad publicity.
I'm borrowing you.
You are? I'm sorry.
Kettle Corn. For you.
Tell them to wait, Margie.
David Lee, family law.
Oh, right, I'm so sorry. You're the divorce lawyer.
Yes, I'm the divorce lawyer.
Yes, well, let him read a magazine.
We're starting up a softball league,
and I wanna know if you're up for playing first base.
Joking. I need you at a meet-and-greet in 45 minutes
to handhold a client, upstairs.
Oh, wait.
I've got a settlement
on the Duke Roscoe case in an hour, so...
Yes, at the moment
we're the only department that makes money, so we outrank.
See you in 45 minutes.
Ugh!
[SIGHS]
Did you want this closed?
I'm tired of being the one who has to handhold the clients.
They send me off to get a client to agree to do something
I'm not even involved with,
because they sent me off to handhold the client.
You're babbling.
I know. Thank you.
Look, it's not a conspiracy. You're good at it.
That's what my brother used to say to get me to do chores.
"Alicia's good at it."
I've worked two months on this Duke case
and now that they're settling, I'm off on some divorce case?
And Cary gets all the glory.
Yeah.
Life stinks. Door.
Okay, we don't need to make this any bigger than it is.
The network doesn't want a long, drawn-out trial.
We would like to move on.
You mean from Cheryl Willens' suicide or the loss of ten sponsors?
You don't need to sell anymore. We're here.
That wasn't selling. That was rubbing it in.
Over the phone, Will and I talked about 2 million.
Actually, we talked about 3 million and a retraction.
Oh. I must have misheard.
The network might be able to go to 2.5,
but any retraction would have to be worked out separately with Duke.
We only advise on content.
Well, then you might have to throw in something extra.
Then, let's haggle.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
DAVID: Alicia, there you are. Carla Browning.
Hello, Mrs. Florrick. I think I'm a fan.
Thank you, I think.
- Chocolate raisins? - No, thank you.
It's funny, most divorce lawyers have Kleenex.
Yes, I find it harder for my clients to cry
when their mouths are filled with M&M's.
Have you been to many divorce attorneys, Ms. Browning?
A few.
My husband and I seem to have had a series of relapses:
Him swearing to change, me forgiving, him forgetting, both of us repeating.
I think I'm done.
DUKE: Morning.
Point me in the direction of the settlement.
I moved out about a week ago, and he's been calling at all hours.
DUKE: Good morning. - Threatening calls.
Saying inappropriate things to our sons.
DAVID: I understand.
But I must warn you,
filing for a restraining order against your husband
could set the stage for a very ugly divorce.
Mr. Roscoe, we didn't expect you.
Don't get up. I'll just help myself back here.
We would need Mr. Willens to agree to not speak to the press, of course.
- You got any cream cheese? - Jeannette.
Can you get some cream cheese for Mr. Roscoe, please?
And fruit. Pineapple.
- Pineapple too, and a bib. JEANNETTE: Got it.
Mr. Willens would have to agree to no future civil action.
All this is outlined in paragraph six,
if you take a look at that paragraph right there.
I just wanna add that there will be no formal retraction agreement,
and the amount is subject to change.
I'm curious, what is the amount?
- How much are you guys paying? - Two-point-five million.
Whoa.
Is Mr. Willens gonna be paying that out of his own pocket,
or is your law firm gonna be helping him out?
Mr. Roscoe, the network would prefer to handle this quietly.
I love quietly.
That's why I'm gonna say this quietly.
If the network pays one red commie cent,
I'm gonna quit the network
and I'm gonna take my nine million viewers with me.
If I have to broadcast from a barge off the coast of South Carolina,
I'll do it rather than surrender my right of free speech.
This isn't about revenge.
I don't wanna hear any more excuses, all right?
My husband is a very dangerous man, and I'm scared.
You understand that, don't you, Mrs. Florrick?
- I do. - About my husband?
DUKE [FAINTLY]: That was meant to be a compliment.
Um...
- Who is your husband? - Oh, I thought David told you.
And I just assumed, Alicia. I'm sorry.
My married name isn't Browning. It's Childs.
Her husband is Glenn Childs, the state's attorney.
DUKE: And they're not gonna be very happy.
Carla thought you'd be sympathetic.
CARLA: David is being euphemistic.
Given how Glenn's been acting, I thought I'd need a secret weapon.
And that would be me?
Yes.
DUKE: Don't tell me to sit down. - Okay.
DUKE: I don't wanna sit down.
PETER: The appeal is looking good.
We may not even need to put you on the stand.
The more I can make this a battle between Childs and me,
and not about sex, then I win.
It sounds smart.
- What's the matter? - What happens next?
- You win the appeal and...? - And I get a new trial.
Right. You get bond.
- I wanna go home, Alicia. - What does that look like?
Home? What does it look like?
Looks like family.
And you wanna run again?
I don't know.
People want me to run.
I'm working on a divorce case, Peter, and I just...
I see how easily people fall back into old habits.
But that won't happen to us.
- Why won't we? - Because we see the problem.
And we'll know how to avoid it.
I have to go.
BAILIFF: All rise for the Honorable Judge Abernathy.
No, no. Please, everybody, sit.
My goodness, we're crowded today.
That has something to do with me, Your Honor.
Yes, Mr. Roscoe, I do believe you're right.
- Well, you're welcome. - Thank you, Your Honor.
All I want is a fair shake,
even though I would imagine our politics are night and day.
Your Honor, is Duke representing himself here?
ABERNATHY: No, no, it's all right, Mr. Gardner.
A smidgen of informality is allowed us all.
And, yes, Mr. Roscoe,
I clearly admit that we probably would agree on very little,
but this court is a blind court.
- And I will endeavor to be fair. - Thank you.
- Talk about playing the refs. - Yep, he's good.
Your Honor, the defense moves for a summary dismissal
based on the First Amendment.
The plaintiff would deny Mr. Roscoe the right to speak his mind.
No, Your Honor, we wanna deny Mr. Roscoe the right to slander and lie.
DUKE: The truth is an absolute defense.
I've been nothing but truthful about that child killer.
Your Honor, if you're gonna yell "fire" in a crowded theater,
there damn well better be a fire.
Okay, counselors. Thank you.
A second.
It's like Lucy with the football. He's gonna screw us again.
Mr. Gardner, you argue that the First Amendment guarantees
the right to speak but not the right to lie.
I agree with that statement.
But our case will be decided on very narrow grounds,
Mr. Gardner, Ms. Lockhart.
To use your example,
it's not enough to prove that there was no fire in the theater.
You must also prove that Mr. Roscoe knew there was no fire
or had a reckless disregard for the facts.
Okay, Cary, Kalinda, this now turns into a fact-finding case.
Who was leaking Duke all his information in the police investigation?
We need to find out what he was given so we can prove he was lying.
Oh, and, Alicia, you keep on Tim.
Handhold him. Make sure he stays on the reservation.
Alicia needs to split her time with the Childs divorce.
Oh, right. Okay, Cary, you stay with him.
Handhold him.
DUKE: The woman is a murderer. Nothing else matters.
Look, we all wanna save face here. So let's chat.
Outside the spotlight. Duke can't know.
Just you and me, and if any money changes hands,
it's out of the press.
Can we have a secret handshake?
Eight tonight. My hotel.
DUKE: Cheryl Willens killed her child.
[GUN FIRING]
Your spray pattern is like a fingerprint, K.
Hi, Frank.
- What do you need? - Why do you think I need anything?
There's eight open alleys. You're in the one next to me.
Willens kidnapping. Everything you got.
And what do I get out of it?
Satisfaction from doing the right thing.
It's an ongoing investigation.
KALINDA: The Lindbergh baby is an ongoing investigation.
What do you need? The 911 tapes?
Yeah. The 911 tapes.
And the investigative reports.
They're under lock and key.
Upstairs is upset that someone's leaking this stuff to Duke Roscoe.
Okay, two shots. Whoever hits closest.
I win, you give me everything.
911, and the reports.
And if I win?
Okay. You first.
Go for it.
Not bad. Your turn.
That's right.
- You're a heart man, Frank. - Put up or shut up, K.
Let me start by saying,
although this office may not have the trappings of a courtroom,
both parties have agreed to arbitration,
and as such, my decisions have the force of law.
- Do both parties understand? - We seem to be only one party.
As you know, Mrs. Childs, your husband is a busy man.
He's asked me as his lead attorney to handle matters in his stead.
There are no matters to handle in his stead.
You signed a prenuptial agreement, Mrs. Childs.
The only matter to discuss is: When are you moving out?
The matter to discuss is the amount of Carla's spousal support
and whether she's going to allow Mr. Childs to visit his children at all.
You seem to be taking for granted
that my client would ignore a legally executed contract.
Why would he do that, Mrs. Childs?
Because of her.
Tell your client that if he doesn't make it to our next arbitration,
I will tell Mrs. Florrick what I found on his laptop.
- Is that supposed to scare him? - Yes.
- So you're using me for leverage? - Yes.
- Does that make you uncomfortable? - It makes me mistrustful.
So use me back.
I know exactly what you're going through.
My uncle died.
The hardest day of my life. A ruptured ulcer.
The whole... The...
[CARY SIGHS]
God.
Then my aunt insisted on having an open casket.
They could see the dead body.
- You are playing with fire. - Who let you in here?
It's my family.
- Let me show you out. - You're poisoning her against me.
You wanna talk to me, you phone my assistant and make an appointment,
but don't come into my office without my permission.
You know she was fine?
Carla was happy until you talked to her.
Oh, my God.
Are you blind?
- I have three sons. I have a life. - Don't you touch me.
Those envelopes on your doorstep? They're the beginning. I have more.
- Don't know what you're talking about. - Don't play stupid with me.
Those photos, the DVDs. I have eight years of evidence.
Then use it. Who's stopping you?
- Security, 27th floor, please. - Ugh.
You wanna make this about family? Fine. I can make it about family too.
Look, Will, your only play is to win the sympathy of the jury.
They get so outraged, they ignore jury instructions
and they award your poor widower something.
- Actually, I have another play. - Mm.
I make your network look so bad, they pay the 4 million.
Four million, is it now?
And that's cheap.
Did I tell you I just got a 911 tape of a distraught Cheryl Willens
phoning the police about her missing daughter?
- Now I know you're bluffing. - Yep.
Just me and a tape recorder doing a great imitation of a panicked mom.
So did it hurt to have it removed?
- Your tattoo. - No, it's still there.
Makeup.
- You're kidding? - Nope.
Delay the trial.
Ask for a continuance.
Let Duke's head cool, and I'll get you the 2 million.
No, I think I'll take a chance with this jury.
I'll send you the 911 tape.
I was talking to Hannah Morris,
- back from the old firm. - Wow.
It really got bigger, huh?
It's my monopoly board. I keep buying property.
Hannah said you've been on some kind of sexual sabbatical
for the last six months.
That's funny. Now, how would Hannah know that?
Woman keeps tabs on you, Will.
How far down does it go?
Pretty far.
Oh. So we're not gonna get any work done tonight, are we?
That's up to you. Be right back.
[CELL PHONE RINGING]
Yeah, what's up, Diane?
DIANE [OVER PHONE]: You near a TV? Check out Duke.
Why? What's he saying now?
I can't do it justice.
Hypocrisy from a bunch of limo-liberal lawyers
at Stern, Lockhart & Gardner.
And as always, I have left it to you, my civilian journalists,
to come up with something on Will Gardner.
Yeah, I get it. He's got big megaphone.
So we just got to take it. Thick skin...
DUKE: Here's Will Gardner sneaking into a hotel room with the wife
of the hooker-Ioving, toe-sucking state's attorney, Peter Florrick.
There you go, Will. Truth is the absolute defense.
Well, that explains the sabbatical.
It was that rape case. The one we lost.
We were asking questions at the hotel.
Seems perfectly innocent.
Okay, can we do some work now?
I'm serious. It was that case. Christy Barbosa.
And of course it required going to a hotel.
We were asking questions. That's what led us to the witness.
So you're sleeping with Will?
CHERYL [OVER EARPHONES]: Please, God, no, no.
OPERATOR: Where is your location, ma'am?
You need to tell me your location.
CHERYL: A market. I'm in Quick Mart. My baby, she's gone.
OPERATOR: Okay, ma'am, an officer is on the way.
- I'll need you to stay on the line. CHERYL: I told her she was bad.
The last thing I told...
Oh, God, she was crying.
Please, God, please.
Oh, God, she was crying.
- Mom? - Please, God.
- You all right? - Oh, yeah, yeah.
I just... You couldn't sleep?
Oh, sweetheart.
- How are you doing at school? - Good.
- Are you getting a divorce? - No, no.
That's just a case.
Who's Will Gardner?
- Another Google alert? - Yep.
It's just a misunderstanding. He's my boss.
We were working on a case,
and we went to a hotel to ask some questions.
And now people are trying to make it into something it's not.
Zach says you went to a divorce lawyer.
Yes.
When I was angry, a week after everything happened.
But you're not angry now?
No.
I'm just trying to be
collected.
All right. Good night.
Oh, good night, sweetheart.
Grace, did anything come for me at the apartment that I didn't get?
Like what?
I don't know. A package or something.
No.
- Good night. - Good night, sweetheart.
The 911 tape has no probative value, Your Honor.
It is a naked attempt to inflame the passions of the jury
and gain sympathy for his client.
The cornerstone of our case is that Duke Roscoe
was knowingly wrong on the facts.
We need the 911 tape to show his facts were at the very least wrong.
You will try to be impartial despite your political differences...
Come on. Stop playing the ref, all right?
And stop carrying out a jeremiad against my client.
What?
He caught you with your pants down, and now you...
Okay, you two.
Such fireworks here.
Your Honor, all we ask for is a compromise.
That will prove to us your fairness.
What compromise? Either we play the tape or we don't.
BAILIFF [FLATLY]: "Please, God, no, no. My baby is gone. I..."
Question: "I would like to help you, ma'am, but I need your location."
Answer: "Oh, God. Oh, God.
I need help now." Question: "Ma'am, are you?"
Answer: "My God. My God." Unintelligible.
The nice thing about liberals, they love to compromise.
Duke was clearly leaked the police report.
There are holes in the report he is filling in from other sources.
- What? - I don't know.
He has a lot of anonymous sources on his website.
Civilian journalists with e-mails like "PatrickHenry 76,"
"ReganRules," "TheDukesman"...
I say we put the son of a bitch on the stand.
Where am I going?
Hey, Bob, can you tell me where I'm going?
There's no court hearing today.
Am I moving cells?
You are.
- Glenn. - Peter.
[INMATES CHATTERING]
We're trying to end the coddling of high-profile prisoners.
So you're putting me in with the general population, huh?
Yes.
It's a bit of a clumsy move, isn't it, Glenn?
You know, even at our worst, we never went after each other's families.
I'm the one in prison. So I'm not going after anyone.
I love my wife. I love my children.
But your wife is leading her toward a divorce.
She's Carla's divorce lawyer.
[CHUCKLES]
Okay, so now we want the gloves to come off?
I didn't know they weren't.
So you got me in general population
because my wife is your wife's attorney?
Hey, Glenn, you wanted the prize.
You wanted the office. So enjoy the spoils.
DUKE: I swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, nothing but the truth,
so help me God.
Mr. Roscoe, on your show of August 15th,
did you say Jamie Willens was never seen on the convenience-store video
because her mother killed her that night?
You've got the transcript right there in your hand, Mr. Gardner.
I do, don't I?
There you are.
Yes, to the best of my memory, Mr. Gardner,
I said the words you just there quoted.
And this was on the same program
you accused the president of being a terrorist?
- Objection, Your Honor. - The answer is yes.
The answer to what is yes?
DUKE: Yes, that's the same program
where I called the president of the United States a terrorist.
And yes, Emily, I can see there are black people on the jury.
WILL: Thank you.
So to the best of your knowledge, did the Chicago Police
consider Mrs. Willens a suspect in the disappearance of her daughter?
Isn't the PC term "person of interest"?
Let me just keep this real simple for you. Knock once for yes.
[KNOCKS ONCE]
Twice for no.
[KNOCKS TWICE]
Isn't anyone gonna object?
Okay, actually, I don't want anyone knocking in my courtroom.
Mr. Roscoe, when you publicly accused Cheryl Willens of murder,
what did you have that the prosecutors didn't?
The prosecutor has to convince the jury.
I'm a commentator. I only have to convince myself.
So once you convince yourself, it's a fact?
Yes.
Look, I rely on the police records. I also have other sources.
How else would I know that Cheryl Willens
tried to get a third-trimester abortion?
WILL: What other sources?
What?
You just said you have other sources. What other sources?
Objection, Your Honor.
Under the Shield Law, reporters do not have to reveal their sources.
But, Your Honor, Mr. Roscoe said he's a commentator, not a reporter.
I don't care what he said. Mr. Roscoe is a journalist.
We respectfully ask the court to compel Mr. Roscoe
to reveal what other information he received
about Cheryl Willens and where he got it.
You're asking me to pierce the Shield Law, Ms. Lockhart?
Your Honor, U.S. V. Lewis "Scooter" Libby.
The court ordered New York Times reporter, Judith Miller,
to reveal her sources.
[CHUCKLES]
I never thought I'd see the day
when you would side with Bush and Cheney, counselor.
It is an established precedent, Your Honor. That is all.
Bizarre.
Mr. Roscoe has managed to outmaneuver you on the left.
I guess I'm overruling you, counselors.
Mr. Roscoe, you may keep your sources confidential.
Thank you.
TIM: It's not true.
Cheryl never tried to get an abortion.
- Ever. - Is it possible, Tim?
And please excuse me for asking the question,
because I know we've really bonded over these last few days.
- Is it possible Cheryl kept it from you? TIM: No.
Don't you see?
Now you're buying into Duke's lies too.
We just wanna trace the source of the story.
We need to show that Duke was being reckless with the truth.
Is there any truth to it?
Look, I took her to her clinic visits myself.
I would've known if she tried to get a late-term abortion.
- Or any kind of abortion. - Which clinic?
I love you, Carla.
Can't we work this out? Without all these people?
David and Alicia are my attorneys.
How many divorces have you handled, Mrs. Florrick?
Actually, this is my first one.
Then I should carefully explain
that when a wife signs a prenuptial agreement,
she has forfeited her ability...
You're probably wondering how Glenn found out about Amber Madison.
- Carla. - I don't want him to talk anymore.
- That's not for you to determine. - Shut up.
Good. Now, I want you to drop the pre-nup
and negotiate a fair settlement.
It is a fair settlement.
On Glenn's computer, there's a file devoted to Peter...
Okay. Okay, 20 percent of my assets.
I keep the house.
And something called Triton Fields.
Carla, this is illegal.
What are you gonna do? Arrest the mother of your children?
Okay, to the house.
Full custody.
I need time.
Twelve hours.
And then Alicia and I will sit down and have a nice, long chat.
I am so sure that Cheryl Willens killed her daughter
that I am now offering a hundred thousand dollars
from my own pocket...
He's influencing the jury.
You don't think one or two of them are watching this?
- even a shred of evidence that Jamie Willens is still alive.
It's called the truth, folks at Stern, Lockhart, & Gardner.
Oh, here we go.
That's what our citizen journalists have been doing.
They've been looking.
Who has spent the last two months in detox?
Who's cheated on their tax returns? Who's a closeted lesbian?
So tune in tomorrow.
We'll find out exactly who has trouble facing the truth.
Yeah, I remember Cheryl. Good girl.
So sad what happened.
You did say you're working with Tim Willens?
Yeah. He wants to clear her name.
So when did she last come in?
March '07. Her third trimester.
Her third? Was that a regular exam?
Cheryl was spotting.
Nothing unusual, but the poor girl was so afraid of losing her baby
that she didn't even tell Tim about it.
Do you know of anyone here who'd say
she was having a late-term abortion?
- No. - What about others?
Cleaning crew, volunteers, garbage man?
Thank you so much.
Hi, what can I get for you?
KALINDA: Irene Reagan?
I'm with Juvenile Courts and Probation.
What did I do?
We're following up on your time in community service
at the Guardian Family Planning Clinic.
That was over two years ago. I thought my probation ended.
Yeah, look, I'm sorry to bother you about this at work.
We tried you at your home,
and I wasn't sure if you had the same e-mail address.
- Still "ReganRules"? - Yes.
Why? What do you want?
I wanna know why you made up lies about Cheryl Willens.
ALICIA: This is crazy, Peter.
They need to put you back in protected.
- Daniel's working on it. - Childs moved you?
Yeah.
I think I know why.
His wife Carla Childs.
I'm representing her. She's divorcing him.
I know.
He was here.
Childs was here? He told you?
Uh-huh.
- Then I need to drop this. - No.
He'd have done it either way.
- I'm the threat to him, not you. - What is Triton Fields?
- What? - Carla mentioned it.
She told me I should tell you.
It's a development.
The owner was charged with bribing people in my office.
Childs was the prosecutor.
What else did she say?
Just that he had a file on his computer. That's all.
You think she would tell you anything else?
Counselor.
So are we holding grudges?
- Not that I know of. - Because my tattoo misses you.
Let me think on it.
- Ouch. - No. No ouch.
I just wanna think on it.
Okay. Think fast.
DIANE: Would you consider yourself a fan of Duke Roscoe's, Miss Reagan?
- Yes. DIANE: Watch his show regularly?
- Been to his website? - Sometimes.
On Duke Roscoe's blog,
there are 83 entries from ReganRules.
- Is that you? - Uh-huh.
And you would call 83 entries "sometimes"?
Did you also e-mail with Duke Roscoe?
I tried a couple of times.
DIANE: Did you e-mail him information
that Cheryl Willens tried to obtain a late-term abortion
at the clinic where you worked?
Miss Reagan, do you know what perjury is?
Yeah, I e-mailed him about it.
- Was it true? - No.
Did Duke Roscoe contact you to verify your information?
- No. - Anyone from his network call you?
- No. - And you were surprised
that Mr. Roscoe used your information on the air
to accuse Cheryl Willens.
- Why? - I wrote him to say I made it up.
Come on. What, am I responsible for every e-mail sent to me?
Mr. Roscoe, please. Reclaim your seat.
Why did you do it, Irene?
Why would you make up something so hurtful?
I wanted to hear from him.
To be part of it all.
I mean, he's Duke Roscoe.
"Dissolution of marriage." It sounds so final.
Like "death certificate."
Take your time. Look it over.
Your husband already signed.
ALICIA: You can change your mind.
As we discussed, your husband set aside your prenuptial agreement
and acceded to your terms.
In exchange, he has included a strict confidentiality clause.
So anything I know about his work...
DAVID: You are prohibited from sharing with anyone.
- After I sign this. DAVID: That's right.
Then before I do, last year, Glenn wiretapped your phones.
- What? - I saw the recordings on his computer.
That's all I know.
There. Done.
Thanks, man. I'm fine.
[CELL PHONE RINGS]
Yeah?
Who?
Okay.
Never heard of that.
Putting on no witnesses.
Does that mean they give up?
No, I'm afraid they're counting on winning
solely on Duke's right of free speech.
Could you give me a second?
DIANE: What?
There was a response to Duke's reward.
- What reward? - Information on Jamie.
That was the police in Scranton.
They have a child matching Jamie's description.
Oh, my God.
WILL: It was a childless couple who supposedly saw her
in a shopping cart and snatched her.
One of their neighbors phoned it in for the reward.
I...
Do you wanna tell him?
Yes.
- How you holding up? - I'm okay.
Listen, I just got a call from the Scranton Police Department.
You ready for some good news?
- I think they got your girl, man. TIM: Is she okay?
WILL: I think so.
[TIM CRYING]
It looks real good.
Thank you.

I just received the verdict,
and I find myself making a very difficult decision.
Huh.
While I hold the defendant's behavior abhorrent and callous,
there is no greater bedrock to our society
than the First Amendment.
Without it, all our other rights are at risk.
And I must admit, I have found the plaintiffs' case to the jury
to play on their passions in this matter, not their rationality.
Eh... Mr. Roscoe receives thousands of e-mails every day,
so it is not axiomatically true that he would have seen this e-mail
from Ms. Reagan, invalidating her story.
Without that certainty,
I cannot allow a jury under my purview to subvert the First Amendment.
So I am, therefore, directing a verdict in favor of the defense.
[CROWD CHATTERING]
[BANGS GAVEL]
Tell Tim we'll appeal.
Something tells me he's not gonna want to.
- Maybe next time. - I'd like that.
REPORTER: Neighbors credit publicity from the recent trial
as the reason for calling the police.
Jamie Willens' picture had appeared in local news reports
over the last few weeks. Her image had been plastered all over the...
- This stuff's awful. It's too sweet. - Mm-hm.
And yet I can't stop eating it. Pass me the remote.
REPORTER: He was quoted as saying that he never doubted
he would see his little girl again.
The family has asked...
Before we move on from this sordid episode,
there is a bit of unfinished business to deal with.
- He's gonna be insufferable, isn't he? - Yep.
DUKE: The promised secrets.
Who spent two months in a Michigan rehab?
Stern, Lockhart equity partner, R.J. Daniels.
Who was caught cheating on his 2007 income taxes?
Jason Michaels in Acquisitions.
And last but not least,
who is the closeted lesbian working at the firm?
That's none other than
Diane Lockhart.
