If I ever see your face
in that window again,
you're a dead man.
I had a plan to get away from him,
hiding the money.
Then he found it.
Next thing I knew, I woke up here.
- Let me help you.
- I can get you someplace safe.
He'll find me.
Brad, what's in those documents?
Now it's our job to suppress it.
What would they have to gain by covering
for some psycho nurse?
- You know who that is?
- Rosalie Sutton.
She's the reason my father's in prison.
FBI has been sniffing around.
I need to know everything
you did for Leo Drummond.
Guard!

That's three in all.
You found three bugs in there?
I can bring one to a friend of mine
and see if he can identify them.
- Yeah, let's do that.
- No, put them back.
What do you mean, put them back?
It's the feds.
I don't want them to know
we found them yet.
Put them back.

Sarah, come in.
You got a visitor.
Dad. I
It was an unplanned trip, honey.
Bit of an emergency with a client.
Yeah.
I'm sure my son would react the same way
if I suddenly showed up at his
office, sitting with his boss.
I'm just surprised. That's all.
I didn't know you argued
a motion already.
I didn't see a courtroom for
three years when I started out.
Well, Leo gave me a safety net.
Brad Noonan sat second.
Well, do I know him?
We played Augusta a few years ago.
Oh, yes, the eager one.
He's settled down a little since then.
Leo tells me you're up against the boy
you were dating.
Rudy, Dad.
You know him.
I know he didn't last
very long at Tinley Britt.
Oh, he's a smart kid.
He just wasn't a good fit.
That's why we make
the first year probationary.
Just chalk it up to R&D costs,
not unlike dating, if I recall.
[chuckles] He doesn't have to recall.
Leo kissed a lot of frogs
before Rebecca.
Yeah, if that's all it was,
I would have saved a lot
in child support.
[laughs] What about Sarah?
She gonna make it through her probation?
- Dad.
- We have high hopes.
Well, she's grateful for the
opportunity you've given her.
Right, darling?
Absolutely.
Leo, do you mind if I steal her
- for a few minutes before I go?
- Sure.
- I'll bill you for the time.
- Ah.
So you got an office
overlooking the cafeteria.
Mm.
When I started, I was stuck
in a windowless basement.
I'm sorry, OK?
I should have called you first.
Can't you see how infantilizing it is
to find you in my boss' office,
talking about me?
Look, of course I stopped by to see him.
He did me a personal favor with you.
Maybe I didn't need the favor.
[sighs] It doesn't matter
how you got here.
I mean, you've clearly
risen to the occasion.
Dad, how well do you really know Leo?
Well enough. Why?
He tried to hide a document
from the plaintiff.
[scoffs] The plaintiff
being the boyfriend.
Will you stop?
Look, there's there's a committee
at the hospital that may have
investigated this death.
We didn't hand over the documents
until we were forced to.
You're not breaking the law.
You're I don't know
testing how elastic it is.
That's the job.
- Sarah
- Hmm?
Out of the hundreds
of lawyers working for Leo,
you're the one he chose for this case.
Enjoy it, honey.
It's a big fat deal.
Now, I have to get to work.
And so do you.
Oh, you're getting everything
you ever dreamed of,
and long before I did.
I'm proud of you.
[smooches]
[pensive music]
[sighs]
[upbeat music]
Brought it to a friend's house.
Oh, lies, lies, "Lies-ah" Minnelli.
Why would I lie?
Because she's in your apartment.
Yeah, can we get back
to Jackie Lemancyzk, please?
Melvin has her, remember,
and we need to find them.
They in your apartment too, huh?
The hell is this?
Avocado, is this
for your hair or guacamole?
- She said she needs shampoo.
- This isn't good.
Says it's for women.
Not the shampoo, this, all of this.
Hiding a girl from her husband?
Or helping her escape her abuser? Hmm.
What's the plan here, long-term, huh?
Is she gonna divorce him?
Ooh, we haven't talked about that.
Well, are you two gonna
run off together?
- It's not like that.
- OK.
Walks like a duck, talks like a duck.
Have you had sex with this duck?
I'm helping someone who needs help.
How does it help if her husband
finds her in your place?
She's not at my place.
Prince said take her somewhere
no one would think to go.
So I did.
You told Prince about this?
Yeah. What's going on? Why?
Well, did he at least
tell you what I told you,
that it's a shit-astrophe in the making?
Oh, Ho Hos.
All right, get her these.

You need to tell your lawyer here

Honey, you've been running
all over hell's half acre
for a long time, trying not
to do what you need to.
I know.
The only thing you need to decide
is whether you want anyone
to do this to you again.
If the answer is no,
every decision after that
is in furtherance of that no.
Kelly, listen to me now.

There were four people in that house,

Excuse me, sorry. Sorry.
Bruiser! Excuse me, sorry.
Bruiser, hey. Bruiser!
Just found out Quinn is the prosecutor.
Oh, shit.
I think it's "shit-balls" is the term.
Morning, Your Honor.
Where's your client, Counselor?
He's walking in now.
You're gonna be great.
Hey, try not to look
like a murderer, all right?
Innocent, doe-eyed, choirboy.
State versus Rudy Baylor.
Who's prosecuting this?
Right here, Your Honor.
Robert Quinn for the State.
Bobby.
Friend of yours?
Put my father in prison.
- What?
- Yeah, tried to get me too.
Oh, great.
Listen, Bobby.
My guy's a lawyer with no priors who,
if he did do anything,
acted in self-defense
against a known domestic abuser.
I'm giving you an out here, all right?
Drop it, and we can all go home.
It's not gonna happen.
You two done gabbing?
I've got 27 more defendants to go.
And at some point,
I'd like to eat my lunch.
Yeah, well, that's why I was trying
to expedite things, Your Honor,
by advising
Mr. Quinn here to drop
these absurd charges.
There is nothing absurd about murder.
Well, it is when it's
a clear case of self-defense.
Not that my client's
admitting to anything.
This is a bail hearing, Bruiser.
We don't debate the merits of
the case until we're in trial.
Or have you forgotten how the law works?
If I don't hear an argument
- Eat it.
- Directed to the bench
in the next five seconds, the two of you
can join Mr. Baylor back in his cell.
After you.
Your Honor, Mr. Baylor is a flight risk.
He's an extremely intelligent young man,
a practicing attorney,
with the assets and acumen
to flee the jurisdiction
in such a manner
that we may never find him again.
State requests $1 million.
- Oh, come on!
- Your Honor, he's broke.
He called 911 himself.
My client isn't some psycho
on a murder spree.
The deceased was a repeat
criminal offender
and known domestic abuser who
put his wife in the hospital
four times in the last three years.
The victim isn't on trial here.
And neither is my client.
This is a bail hearing, Bobby.
We don't discuss the merits
of a case until we're in trial.
Or have you forgotten how the law works?
Mr. Quinn, her argument is persuasive.
State requests $1 million.
No flight risk, no threat, 5 grand.
Bail set at $50,000.
- [gavel bangs]
- Yes!
- Yes.
- Should have taken my offer.
Eat a bag of dicks.
- We'll see you outside.
- It's gonna be all right.
I know. Take it easy, Vic, please?
[dramatic music]
- Hey!
- Hey.
You paid my bail?
Our bondsman paid your bail.
But she covered the premium.
Well, I figured you didn't have
an extra 5K lying around, so
Bruiser, I don't know what to say.
Well, you can say it later.
Right now, you have a visitor.

Are you OK?
Well, I've been better.
Look, I read the police report.
This is the guy that we saw
in your building,
the one through the window?
Cliff Riker, yeah. Kelly is his wife.
How did you get mixed up in all of this?
I just bumped into Kelly
in the hall a few times.
We became friends.
Pretty big gap between
friends and dead husband.
We weren't involved,
if that's what you mean.
- Look, my dad is in town, OK?
- He can get you a real lawyer.
- I have a lawyer.
- Bruiser?
She's a street lawyer.
So am I.
This is serious, Rudy.
I mean, everything you've worked for,
you could go to prison.

Look literally, look where you are.
This is your life. Can we just

Just let me get myself out.

Yeah, come here.

All right, Deck, what's their case?
Wait, wait.
Thought you said the office was bugged.
Oh, we put them
in the men's room for now.
One more chili dog,
and they're gonna hear
all my explosive secrets.
Plus, the feds
don't care about this, OK?
They're after me, not you.
And why is that?
Look, I'm not the one
in the soup today, all right?
You are.
Deck, what's Quinn's case?
Married woman meets a new lover.
Lover wants her husband
out of the picture
so he can have her all to himself.
[chuckles]
- It's not like that.
- Oh?
Tell us how it's not like that.
Cliff followed me to Dot's house.
Or maybe you lured him there.
You know I didn't.
I'm playing Quinn right now.
He'll say you arranged this
so you can hide behind stand your ground
and run off with some dead man's wife.
Well, that's insane.
Who will testify to the contrary?
- Kelly, for one.
- The lover.
Starting to get the picture?
- Kelly and I, we're not
- we're not intimate.
And yet you visited her
at the hospital several times.
And her nurse on duty
told me that you two
looked pretty cozy together.
You talked to the nurse?
That's what we do.
And what we know, they know.
How many other mistakes
have you made with this girl?
He bought her shampoo and Ho Hos.
Ho Hos were your idea.
Everybody loves Ho Hos.
What does it matter what I bought her?
It shows that you care about her.
Yeah, it's not a crime, guys,
to care about someone.
But it is motive.
Where'd you get the gun?
East side, bought it
off a guy on the street.
When did you get it?
Monday morning.
- The same day you used it?
- What?
That's premeditation, Rudy.
And with no serial number.
This is a layup for the prosecution,
even for a half-gork like Bobby Quinn,
unless I can find something to keep
your stupid ass out of prison.
[tense music]
After a lot of thought and discussion,
we've come to a difficult decision.
Given the current circumstances,
we're just not confident in your ability
to be as effective as the firm requires.
This is your severance.
You can't fire me.
It's not personal.
I just told you that Pritcher kidnapped
Jackie Lemancyzk,
who has a file that she took
off the hospital computers.
You need me.
We don't know what's in that file.
We can assume that it's important.
I mean, why else would they break
into Charlie Sturm's house?
Look at yourself.
You can barely hobble
up a flight of stairs.
And let's be honest.
You weren't exactly
effective before that.
That psycho put me in the hospital.
He killed Ethan.
I'm gonna finish this.
The ball club's making a change.
You people.
You sit there in your $4,000 suits

letting you pretend you're clean.
You feel better?
You be careful on the stairs.

So you up to date?
Yeah, yeah.
But I don't understand
how it helps them.

the deaths of 15 patients.
But according to the minutes,
she didn't provide any evidence.
They didn't believe her.
So she went up to administration.

Melvin Pritcher broke
into her ex-boyfriend's house
looking for it.
How do we know that exactly?
Are you willing to get your hands dirty?
How dirty?
Go talk to the ex.
See what he knows about this file.
Should we go together?
He'll see me coming from a mile away.
But you?
Young, innocent, attractive?
He'll trust you.
OK.
He's in North City Hospital.
His wife's in a coma from the break-in.
So Pritcher is dangerous.
If he is, we didn't know
until after he was let go
in a round of layoffs.
