Le prime 199 righe.
Morning, Harry.
Harry, hey.
Morning, Harry.
Hey, Harry.
Hi, Harry.
Morning, Harry. Our new beginning.
How do you feel? Like crap.
Do I push a button here, or does it just read my mind?
Button. Stupid iPad"s got me thinking
all machines are intuitive.
Well, i"ll be up and down as needed.
And Malcolm can come help you after school if you want him to.
I want him to study.
Hey, Harry, isn"t it fantastic?
It"s an office. Who are these people?
Well, it"s our staff.
You should probably say hello.
Hello. I expect you to work your asses off
so I can hang on to mine.
Which one gets coffee? Harry, I just have to say...
All made in the kitchen.
Opening up a shingle with Harry a. Korn...
Whoa. You do not work with me.
We share an office space.
Our practices are,
and always will be, separate.
Me, you. Me, you.
Hey, Harry. Cassie Reynolds. It"s a pleasure to be here.
Yeah. Two things. You ever have a problem, keep it to yourself.
You got a personal life, get rid of it. I own you now.
Find something for her to do.
Hey, Harry.
Ollie Richard. Housewarming.
Got a minute? Ollie runs litigation
at the firm that kicked me to the curb.
Not my choice. Did you fight it?
Did you? What do you want, Ollie?
I represent Eric Sanders.
Bring it here. And as of now, so do you.
We can get an office at the old firm, or set up a new
command center here. Did you say Eric Sanders?
The guy who killed his wife?
Adam branch. Hello.
Yeah. Trial starts next week.
We should probably go. You can drink that later,
or on the way. What, are you on drugs?
I"m not going back to that office,
and I Don"t want your lousy case.
Yes, you do. No, I Don"t.
Yes, you do. No, I...
Ollie has a talent for telling people
what they really want.
You need something, Tommy?
Harry, the Eric Sanders trial is a defense attorney"s wet dream.
I can win that trial.
It"s tailor-made for... Tommy Jefferson.
Yeah, what did we say about wet dreaming in the common areas?
Beat it!
Probably not the best choice of words.
Seriously, Harry, I could use your help.
The evidence against him is not good. Uh-huh.
Exactly how not good?
He was at the scene, a neighbor heard her screaming
from the bathroom, he was discovered with the body.
Is there more?
Supposedly there"s a journal entry where
he talks about killing his wife.
Oh, boy, you people are something.
What, now that I made it back,
you want to knock me back down
by turfing your high-profile, slam-dunk loser?
That isn"t it. Yes, it is.
No, it isn"t. Yes, it is.
Harry, bring it here.
You and I go way back.
Don"t we? Ollie,
if you"re about to charm the pants off me,
I promise you, it won"t be pretty.
I need you. There, I said it.
I could get anybody to take this case.
The reason i"ve come to you...
You"re the only one I know who can win it.
And that"s the truth.
When all else fails, play the ego card.
Pathetic.
I am not happy, I tell you, not happy.
The biggest murder trial to come to Cincinnati
in a long time, and it doesn"t come to me.
It came to this office. Not the same.
How could they want Harry?
Not that she"s not good, but I am so much better.
Am I not better? I"m better, right?
You are, and everything happens for a reason, Tommy.
In this case, something bigger awaits.
What could be bigger than a rich guy whacking his wife?
It"s got sex, love, money, and a long trial,
which means the money comes to me.
The evil empire. Yankees?
Mm-mm. Disney?
Uh-uh. Starbucks?
Tommy, theevil empire.
You mean...? I do.
They"re taking over almost two blocks
to build one of their megastores. Residents are suing.
They have local counsel, but they Don"t have a local
litigator, which they are shopping for now.
They"re interviewing the city"s top trial lawyers,
and they"re specifically looking
for somebody who personifies Cincinnati.
There"s nobody more Cincinnati than me.
Johnny bench, Jerry springer, Pete Rose, me.
Get me on that short list. I"ll see what I can do.
Don"t see, do. Do, do, do.
The evil empire and me.
I like it.
Bennett fenwick?
Uh, he"s a walk-up, some artist.
Tommy, Bennett fenwick... Wasn"t he yours?
Yeah, I hate art... Overrated and doesn"t pay.
What about him? Do we know what he wants?
He"s an artist. Probably some spray paint and a wall.
Do we care? They"ll see you at 11:00.
Who? McKinley, Manning & bock.
That"s the local firm. You have an interview at 11:00.
Really? That was fast.
That"s my middle name, Tommy. Fast.
I Don"t understand.
The trial starts next week, Ollie.
How do you bring in someone new?
Please explain that to me. Okay.
Eric, you"re an extremely unlikable defendant
charged with a despicable crime, and we have no defense.
I"ve recruited Harry so I could package
my murderous unlikable client with an adorable old lady
who can sell ice to an eskimo.
Helpful? Are you any good?
How about I go first?
You bash your wife"s head in?
Suppose I did kill my wife,
and I had some wonderful fabrication
that would absolve me of it?
If you knew it was untrue, legal ethics would prevent you
from letting me tell it.
Actually, i"m okay with lies,
provided they"re really good ones.
Did you kill her?
Well, this is really going to disappoint you, Harry, but no.
I didn "t. I Don" t like her.
Bet you didn"t want to hear me say i"m innocent, did you?
Because a conviction would only prove you failed.
An innocent man in prison for the rest of his life
because of your incompetence.
Imagine having to live with that.
I wouldn"t. You would.
I really dislike her, Ollie.
This cannot be overstated.
It"s too bad, Eric,
because right now, you"re in the toilet,
and she"s your only way out.
If I agree to do this... Great.
I didn"t say yes. Yes, you did.
No, I didn"t. Yes, you did.
Oliver!
If i"m on this case, I am first chair.
We do things my way.
We clear on that?
Fine.
And I get final say on strategy.
No way. Shouldn"t that go to me?
No. Since you"re sitting in a jail cell,
i"ll assume you screw things up.
I"m in charge.
We all agree?
Dying to know. What made you say yes?
I was married to two pricks.
The one thing they can"t do is lie convincingly.
Your boy is telling the truth.
I"ll defend him.
Be in touch.
Adam, you can start by tracking down Vinnie delgato.
Oh, we "ve already got a p.I.Not like Vinnie, you Don"t.
Cassie, I want you
to review all the pretrial proceedings,
see if there"s any grounds for appeal.
Since you"re an ex-D.A.,
you can also serve as our liaison with the prosecutor.
Who is that, anyway?
Uh, Roseanna remmick.
Okay...
Did you say Roseanna remmick? Cassie: Great.
Hosanna Roseanna? Harry: You expect me
to be ready to butt heads with the district attorney in a week?
Harry, Bennett fenwick. What?
That"s the case Tommy fobbed on me,
which I then fobbed to Cassie. Harry,
we should get going. Still need to file your appearance.
I"m sure Roseanna can"t wait to meet you.
She"s known for cherry-picking dead bang winners.
Did you know this? I did, actually.
