The Good Fight 1x3

1. Hi, Uncle Jax.

2. Maia.

3. How are you these days?

4. Good.

5. Very good.

6. Glad things are going so well for you, Mom.

7. No, Maia, Maia.

8. Maia.

9. Maia, darling. That is not what it looked like.

10. Tell me what it looked like, Mom.

11. Because my dad is in jail for something he didn't do

12. and you're fucking the man who put him there?

13. - Don't you use that language with me!

14. I'm trying to talk some sense into him.

15. Oh, really?

16. See, what kind of sense requires him to take off his shirt?

17. What kind do you think?

18. Oh, my God. Seriously?

19. You're telling me you're doing this for Dad?

20. Okay, good to know.

21. Don't...

22. Don't tell Dad, please.

23. It will kill him.

24. Oh, my God.

25. Okay, it is done, we've removed one piece of metal.

26. - Looks like shrapnel. Good, it's all good.

27. - How big is it?

28. Three centimeters by one.

29. You're doing fine, Yusuf.

30. - Can you move the camera closer? - Roger.

31. Can you ask the dentist to suture it up and close the hole?

32. A couple of bites should do it. Just tie and repeat.

33. Good. The shrapnel's gone.

34. You'll need to keep track of the blood pressure and the fever spikes.

35. Okay, for the second lesion, sew towards yourself

36. and keep tension on the stitch.

37. Is everything all right there, Yusuf?

38. It's Syria, doctor. Clearly no.

39. We thought we heard a sound, a rumble.

40. All good here. Just watching a dentist save a life.

41. Sounds like it's where you are, doctor.

42. With your Chicago murder rate, I'm worried.

43. Keep monitoring him. We don't want any big changes.

44. I'll try to check in later, but I might be out of circulation.

45. - Dr. Randolph Picot? What is wrong, doctor?

46. - Yes. What is this about? - You're under arrest.

47. Please place your hands behind your back.

48. I'm in the middle of an operation.

49. Please, place your hands behind your back.

50. Salaries charged as expenses,

51. $13.8 million.

52. Actuarial gain on defined benefit pensions,

53. $3.1 million.

54. Partners capital, $3.4 million.

55. And we're still waiting for one capital contribution.

56. But with that anticipation,

57. the profit for the financial year available

58. for division among partners, $8.5 million.

59. Good. Then we're doing great. Congrats.

60. - One problem. - Of course.

61. Ventura Bridge, the cell phone tower company.

62. They haven't paid their retainer yet.

63. - It's got to be an oversight. - Well, maybe.

64. But without their retainer,

65. we're down $12,600,000.

66. That means all the equity partners will owe

67. $300,000 more this year.

68. It's an oversight, y'all.

69. The Ventura Bridge is a no-bid contract going back, what, five years?

70. That's money in hand.

71. Don't worry. I will make a call.

72. You better, or we're all out $300,000.

73. Diane Lockhart's office.

74. No, she's in a meeting right now, can I take a message?

75. Okay.

76. May I take a message?

77. - What? - May I take a message?

78. Thanks.

79. May I help you?

80. You did a bit of investigating the other day, didn't you?

81. I did a bit of investigating?

82. I understand what those words mean,

83. but you'll have to give me more context.

84. - I like your shoes. - You went out and got the names for the class action.

85. Oh, yeah, I just...

86. I worked at the mall, and it seemed easier to just go talk to some friends.

87. Mm. I'm the investigator.

88. Oh, I stepped on your toes, didn't I?

89. Well, it was a one-time thing. Don't worry. Marissa.

90. I have to get that.

91. Diane Lockhart's office.

92. How can I... May I help you?

93. I know I shouldn't be interrupting you, but a Dr. Picot is on the line.

94. Yes, it's his malpractice case. Tell him I'll call him back.

95. No, no, no, he was arrested.

96. - What? When? - Just an hour ago.

97. - Why? - Terrorism.

98. I need to see my dad.

99. See, I'm your lawyer, and I'm trying to save you from an indictment.

100. I still need to see him. I need to warn him.

101. I think he's being set up.

102. - By whom? - My Uncle Jax and my mom.

103. Okay.

104. Here's the thing. I'm going.

105. - Wait, you're going now? - No, no, no.

106. I'm going with you to visit your dad.

107. - No, I don't need— - That's non-negotiable.

108. Maia, there will be a moment when you tell a client,

109. "For your own good, you have to do what I say."

110. This is one of those moments for you.

111. So, I'll allow you to visit your dad in prison,

112. but I'm gonna be there.

113. I'm gonna hear everything you say to him and everything he says to you,

114. so it's subject to attorney-client privilege.

115. Do you understand?

116. Oh, Dr. Picot?

117. I'm Diane Lockhart, your malpractice lawyer.

118. This is quite a situation you've gotten yourself into.

119. Yes, I know, a terrorist sympathizer.

120. Won't my rabbi be surprised.

121. And you were conducting open-heart surgery in Syria?

122. Medical personnel have been so depleted in Syria

123. that Doctors Without Borders

124. is providing technical support via Skype

125. to non-doctors there.

126. I see. Well, good.

127. So, this is merely an initial appearance to secure pretrial release,

128. so it should go fairly smoothly.

129. So, you're clearly not a flight risk.

130. Well, I do have a fishing cabin in Ontario,

131. but it barely has a toilet.

132. I like you, doctor, I think you're funny,

133. but the court doesn't do well with funny.

134. Got it. Zip it.

135. - Uh, did you know he was a terrorist? Excuse me?

136. Your patient in Syria, did you know he was a terrorist?

137. Are you two together?

138. Because I want her there, that's all.

139. It's still your case, Diane.

140. It's an initial appearance.

141. I don't need hand-holding with an initial appearance.

142. Who said anything about hand-holding?

143. Lucca wasn't doing anything and she has experience in federal court.

144. Barbara, I was a name partner at the town's biggest firm.

145. Yes, and I'm a name partner at this firm.

146. I'm not questioning that.

147. At your firm, Diane,

148. did you sometimes overrule the judgment of junior partners?

149. So this is a lesson in humility?

150. No.

151. The prosecutor is Colin Morello. He is their top AUSA.

152. It isn't wrong to have you two working together, okay?

153. - Okay. - Good luck.

154. Right. Bye.

155. Why are you really doing that?

156. - What do you mean? I want them to work together. - Mm-mm, no.

157. Barbara, it's a power play.

158. Now I know that sound in your voice when you've got some kind of hidden agenda.

159. She got Lucca's office.

160. I don't want to lose Lucca. She needs to feel needed.

161. See, here's the problem with power.

162. You got to take it from somebody to give it to somebody else.

163. Thank you, Sun Tzu.

164. Barbara.

165. Be nice to Diane. Don't rule it over her like that, huh?

166. - Do I question your leadership? - All the time.

167. - Uh-huh.

168. - Okay. I'll behave. - Good.

169. Now what's going on with our Ventura Bridge retainer? Is it coming?

170. Yeah, we're having lunch with the CEO today.

171. We'll get to the bottom of it.

172. Hey.

173. Be nice.

174. Good morning, Your Honor.

175. Good morning, Mr. Morello. Always a pleasure.

176. Likewise.

177. The government asks the defendant be detained

178. pending trial, both as a flight risk and a danger to the community.

179. - Seriously, what kind of "danger... - He's a renowned doctor...

180. - ... to the community"? - ... with no record.

181. Oh, I seem to have struck a chord over there, Your Honor.

182. Yes, idiocy has a way of doing that.

183. Okay, thank you. Little cordiality here.

184. Continue, Mr. Morello.

185. Eighteen U.S. Code 2339A

186. prohibits anyone from providing material support

187. to terrorist organizations.

188. When Dr. Picot operated on a known terrorist—

189. He didn't operate, Your Honor. He assisted in an operation over Skype.

190. Not just assisted. He supervised.

191. He is a trained heart specialist,

192. one of only three in America who could've performed that operation.

193. Your Honor, the AUSA left one important word

194. out of 18 U.S.C.

195. "No one may knowingly provide material support to a terrorist."

196. Our client had no idea who the patient was in Syria.

197. All he knew was that he was a human being in need of medical assistance.

198. I have a quote here from Dr. Picot

199. to Médecins Sans Frontières.

200. "I have operated on gang members in South Central

201. and serial killers.

202. - How can I draw a line with terrorists?" I see.

203. So the AUSA now wants to imprison our client

204. for his thoughts, not his actions.

205. - I just thought Her Honor would enjoy a little context... - Our client's past statements...

206. Okay, okay.

207. This is about a pre-trial release, that's all.

208. It's not the Supreme Court, it's not The Hague.

209. Therefore, I rule.

210. The defendant is ordered released

211. - on an unsecured bond of 2,000 dollars.

212. An executive dining room.

213. My goodness, the cell tower business must be good.

214. You should know, you're handling our contracts.

215. We were handling them.

216. There seems to be a holdup this year.

217. Try this bread.

218. They bake it every morning. My office is upstairs, I smell it all day.

219. All right, come on, Ron.

220. What's going on? We haven't gotten our retainer.

221. It's not just up to me.

222. I have a board. They all have a voice.

223. But we're a no-bid contract, Ron.

224. You get a tax credit for 20 percent of our work.

225. Are you unsatisfied with our work?

226. Then what?

227. Things have changed.

228. What does that mean?

229. Do I really have to spell it out?

230. I think you do.

231. A new administration.

232. A new president.

233. But they're not pulling back on tax credits for hiring minority-owned businesses.

234. Yes, but you are not the only minority-owned business.

235. So, who else are you talking to?

236. Look, come back in at 4:00. Talk to the board.

237. Explain your bid.

238. I'm sure they'll listen.

239. Okay.

240. Go ahead, I'll take the next one.

241. It's what I said against Trump.

242. I spoke at a rally.

243. Mm, no, a lot of folks spoke out against Trump, it's...

244. Then what?

245. What?

246. It's Andrew Hart.

247. I thought he went out of business.

248. He runs a 12-man operation on the Gold Coast.

249. Twelve men? Is he fucking kidding?

250. We have 80 lawyers here.

251. It's minority-owned?

252. Yes, they just moved here from D.C.

253. So it's about their government connections?

254. My guess?

255. Something more.

256. Like what?

257. Andrew Hart is one of the few African-American businessmen

258. who ran a Trump PAC.

259. Wow.

260. So we're going bankrupt 'cause we didn't pander to Trump.

261. His pulse is weaker, doctor. His fever has spiked.

262. We gave him IV fluids but his blood pressure is falling anyway.

263. DR. Okay, it's okay, Yusuf.

264. Tell him to give the patient more IV fluid.

265. He's gonna have to reopen the incision.

266. - It will be swollen.

267. Okay, hold on. I need to translate.

268. Wait, h-hold on, Yusuf. Call me back when you've done all that.

269. - Why? - I don't know how they tapped the last Skype.

270. I need to get to a more secure place.

271. - I'll call you back. - Wait, what—?

272. Yusuf, are you there?

273. - Yes, where are you? - I'm outside.

274. I might be moving.

275. Where are we?

276. The patient is intubated and the chest is open, doctor.

277. Now what should he do?

278. Uh, make sure there's no new bleeding.

279. Could be a laceration in the heart that we missed.

280. Okay, we're gonna take this nice and slowly.

281. Doctor? - Yeah, one second.

282. - Doctor. - Okay.

283. Tell him to leave the drain, wash around the heart with antibiotics

284. - and close up. There isn't much time. - What? I couldn't hear that.

285. Call somebody else, he has six hours.

286. You have the right to remain silent.

287. Anything you say can and will be used against you.

288. How've you been, Dad?

289. Sorry, it's just important

290. that Maia have her lawyer present.

291. Yeah.

292. I'm good, and you? How are you, Maia?

293. Just act like I'm not here.

294. I'm good. I'm good, too.

295. Can we, uh, get a little space here, Rupert?

296. Sorry.

297. As your lawyer, Henry, I can't advise it.

298. So I heard you got a new job.

299. Uh, yeah, yeah, it's good. I like it.

300. Oh, I knew you would. And Mom told me that you got a big case.

301. - Mom was here? This morning, yes.

302. I told her you'd be coming today.

303. Did she say anything?

304. About?

305. I don't know. Anything?

306. Well, uh, just that you and Amy are getting harassing calls.

307. - Hmm. - That you're enjoying this new law firm.

308. And that you were worried about Mom's cancer scare.

309. Anything about Jax?

310. I really don't think we should go there.

311. It's okay, Rupert.

312. Just that he still blames me for this Ponzi scheme.

313. - That's it? Yeah.

314. Why? What else?

315. Do you re...?

316. Do you really think that Mom is...

317. helping you?

318. Helping me with...?

319. Well, is she standing by you or you know, is she standing by...

320. Jax?

321. Why would Mom stand by Jax?

322. Well, I don't know.

323. But is that something...

324. that worries you?

325. You have any reason to be worried?

326. We should end this.

327. Okay.

328. Jax's personal computer.

329. - "Watchdog..." Henry, no.

330. - Let's— Let's go, come on. No, Henry, no.

331. - Henry, no! Come on, come on, let's go.

332. Thank you.

333. Goodbye, Dad.

334. Goodbye, sweetheart.

335. - Maia, what did he say?

336. Maia, what?

337. Nothing. He just said "I love you."

338. Oh, come on. All right, let me see.

339. Whatever he asked you to do, Maia, you can't do it.

340. There's no privilege here.

341. A spouse can be prevented from testifying but you can't.

342. I don't understand. We're acting like this is over.

343. They're just playing a little hardball with us.

344. So we lower our bid by ten percent.

345. The problem is, they rely on the government

346. for low lease rates for their cell towers.

347. They don't want to piss off the Trump administration.

348. Why would they piss off the Trump administration with us?

349. Because we're us, you guys.

350. Because of all the police brutality cases.

351. So, what do we do?

352. Who voted for Trump?

353. We argue prior restraint.

354. They're saying he can't operate even before they prove—

355. We don't have to go there. They haven't presented evidence on the patient's identity yet.

356. Okay, then we should argue both.

357. Lucca, you're second chair.

358. - Yes.

359. But I know how to go after this guy.

360. He is not the problem, the problem is the law.

361. It's both.

362. Okay, you go first.

363. Why?

364. You distract him.

365. It's not the same matter, Your Honor. The prosecution...

366. Dr. Picot attempted a second operation on the same terrorist.

367. - Arresting him again is prior restraint. - Seriously?

368. - May I finish, Your Honor? - Do you two know each other?

369. Your Honor, the defendant can no longer argue ignorance.

370. He knows the patient is a terrorist now.

371. How does he know that? - Yeah, how?

372. - Ms. Quinn. - He knows because he was here three hours ago

373. when we argued he was a terrorist.

374. But with what evidence? We didn't hear any evidence.

375. - That evidence is confidential. - And here we go.

376. Yes, unfortunately, this country still has enemies.

377. Sorry to inconvenience you, Ms. Quinn.

378. He's 19 years old. He's not a terrorist.

379. A Baghdad market was just blown up by a 15-year-old.

380. Terrorism doesn't honor age, sir.

381. Dr. Picot, how long does this young man in Syria have to live?

382. Four hours.

383. So I have until five to decide this case.

384. All right, then. I will hear evidence on Dr. Picot's pre-trial release.

385. - You have already granted... - Your Honor, this operation can't happen.

386. No, no, no, no, no, no.

387. You have three and a half hours to present evidence.

388. Stop arguing and get me the evidence.

389. Marissa, it's an emergency.

390. I need a witness from the Medical Licensing Board right now.

391. Yeah, where do you want him or her, this witness?

392. Okay, I'm on it, I'm on it.

393. What do you need?

394. - The investigator. - Oh, I don't know who that is.

395. He's about this tall, black.

396. That's not very helpful, is it?

397. I'm Marissa, by the way.

398. - Maia. - I work over there.

399. No, I know. Nice to meet you.

400. I work for Diane, but when she's out, tell me if you need anything.

401. What are you doing at four?

402. It's okay if you voted for him. We just need someone for a bid.

403. - Sorry, sorry. Hi, do you have a minute?

404. - Why? - You wanted me to tell you

405. when I was needed to do something investigative.

406. I just was needed to do something investigative.

407. Wow, we have 80 lawyers and 50 staff

408. and not a single one voted for Trump?

409. Or not a single one wanted to admit it.

410. Maybe I'll just lie, say I voted for him.

411. Barbara.

412. You got a moment?

413. What's on your mind?

414. There won't be any repercussions, right?

415. - Seriously? - Oh, my God.

416. Wait. You voted for Trump?

417. Good.

418. - Then you will pitch for us. - Oh, I hate this.

419. - I know, but it's for the firm.

420. Look. I...

421. I don't get ostracized, right?

422. I don't get isolated?

423. - Look, Kanye voted for Trump. - No, he didn't.

424. He said he would've if he did vote.

425. Right.

426. Well, no one's gonna know

427. but Adrian and myself.

428. Right.

429. Really? Did he say why?

430. Conservative politics.

431. - Well, Kanye voted for Trump. - No, he didn't.

432. - But he would have if he had voted. - Well...

433. We have our spokesperson.

434. Listen, I promised him he would not be ostracized here.

435. Of course not.

436. Mike, an eight-ounce, extra onions. I'm headed to court.

437. How much time you got?

438. - Ten minutes. - That's cutting it close.

439. Here, have half.

440. No, I'm fine.

441. Judge said three o'clock. You're not gonna make it in time.

442. He's right. I need 12 minutes.

443. Go ahead.

444. - I like extra onions, peppers. - Done.

445. - You're losing.

446. - This one's a slam dunk. - Good.

447. I like helping men with their self-esteem issues.

448. Good lawyer?

449. Very talented.

450. So how far does a smile get you?

451. - The— - The "bad-boy Tom Cruise" smiles.

452. Do the judges go wild for it?

453. - That and a good argument. No.

454. I think you've always relied on the cute little metrosexual thing.

455. The, "Oh, my God, the law is just something I stumbled into"

456. shit-eating grin.

457. Wow, the powers of perception.

458. Thanks.

459. Whoever wins buys the other a drink.

460. Won't you be busy with your "good" blonde lawyer there?

461. Oh, I'll make time.

462. Let me think about it.

463. Thanks for the burger.

464. - This is melodrama, Your Honor. - Why is it melodrama?

465. If this man does not get the help he needs, he will die.

466. Oh, my God. That's an assassination attempt!

467. We're preventing him from making a terrorist well, that's all.

468. This is a terrorist who could be responsible for the death of thousands.

469. Your Honor, we have a witness.

470. Thank God. Let's swear someone in, please.

471. - Thank you so much. - Actually, it wasn't me, it was—

472. Okay.

473. Mala Kulkarni.

474. I am president of the Medical Licensing Board of Illinois.

475. And can you tell the court what this is?

476. It is the section of the Illinois Compiled Statutes

477. that deals with disciplinary actions against doctors.

478. And under the list of grounds for revoking a medical license,

479. could you read number 16?

480. - "Abandonment of a patient." - And what does that mean?

481. Once a doctor has agreed to care for a patient,

482. he or she must follow through,

483. unless he can find an adequate substitute.

484. - And if he doesn't? - He loses his license.

485. Your Honor, the State is putting Dr. Picot in an untenable position.

486. If he doesn't continue this operation, he will lose his license.

487. We have a rebuttal witness, Your Honor.

488. Colonel Spencer Mara.

489. I command Madigan Army Medical Center,

490. out of Lewis-McChord, Washington.

491. Dr. Mara, are you familiar with treating patients during combat conditions?

492. I am.

493. And once you start treating a patient,

494. do you always stay with them until the end?

495. You try, obviously. But sometimes it's not safe.

496. Sometimes you are needed somewhere else urgently.

497. You wouldn't expect to lose your license over it, would you?

498. No, not given battlefield conditions. - Your witness.

499. Uh, you're aware, Dr. Mara, that the Geneva Convention

500. requires the proper care and treatment of enemy fighters?

501. I am aware.

502. By those rules, wouldn't Dr. Picot be required to treat his patient?

503. The Geneva Convention only applies to cases

504. involving enemy conflict between states.

505. - That's not my question. - Uh, objection, Your Honor.

506. - The witness should be allowed to answer. - Agreed. Go ahead.

507. DR. This is not an armed conflict between states.

508. The patient is an ISIS fighter and therefore, he is an enemy combatant.

509. I see,

510. so this is different because the patient is an ISIS fighter?

511. - DR. Exactly. - Uh, don't you mean by that, Dr. Mara—?

512. I think the doctor can speak for himself, counselor.

513. How do you know the patient is an ISIS fighter?

514. Doctor?

515. I... I may have misspoke.

516. But you know the patient is an ISIS fighter?

517. Doctor, answer the question.

518. I do.

519. And how do you know the patient is an ISIS fighter?

520. DR. From the AUSA.

521. Your Honor, the government's witness just opened the door

522. to the patient's identity.

523. ISIS is a generic term, Your Honor.

524. No, it is not.

525. And the prosecution's witness has just argued that he's a member of ISIS.

526. We need to be shown how he knows this.

527. She got you there, Mr. AUSA.

528. The kimono is opened. Who is he?

529. Uh...

530. We'll need a few hours to gather this information.

531. No, no, no.

532. Dr. Picot's patient will be dead in two hours. Who is he?

533. He is Tariq Aboulafia.

534. Thank you. A citizen of Syria?

535. No.

536. The United States.

537. I was wondering if you'd ever come by.

538. Here I am.

539. When was the last time you were here?

540. Uh... Christmas.

541. Oh, that's right. Chocolate-covered strawberries.

542. Hmm.

543. - What can I get you, Maia? - Answers.

544. Well, I was thinking more a beer, but...

545. I could probably manage a few of those, too.

546. What'd your dad say?

547. You're responsible for the Ponzi scheme.

548. He caught you, that's why you went to the Feds and blamed him.

549. And he and Lenore were just unsuspecting victims.

550. - How's that not the truth? - You know the truth, Maia.

551. You watched your parents all those years.

552. Your dad wanted to be seen

553. as some genius of finance.

554. Those articles in Fortune?

555. I never wanted them, he did.

556. The last thing he wanted to admit was it was all luck.

557. He was no genius at stocks.

558. You throw a dart at a board, it'd be more accurate.

559. So when the bubble hit,

560. he kept sending out statements that he was still winning.

561. That's the real truth about your dad.

562. He didn't want to steal people's money,

563. he just wanted to be seen as a winner.

564. Why are you sleeping with my mom?

565. - I'm not sleeping with your mom. - Fuck you.

566. Go ahead. I'm not going anywhere.

567. Yeah? Hey.

568. No, I'm a little busy right now.

569. No, no. Okay.

570. No, no, I don't understand. What's this regarding?

571. It's regarding a very important matter regarding your suit.

572. Sorry for saying "regarding" twice.

573. Uh, my suit? I'm confused.

574. Diane Lockhart has some important information for you regarding the Rindell matter.

575. - She's not my lawyer. - I know.

576. - But she has information for you. - Okay.

577. - Can you put her on? - Actually, just one second.

578. - First, I need you to write something down regarding Diane.

579. - Do you have a pen? - Um, okay.

580. This is very important. Please write it down exactly.

581. The numbers eight, seven, three,

582. one, zero, nine,

583. lowercase "H,"

584. capital letter R, capital letter...

585. Capital letter U.

586. Then the numbers 9 and 3. Why don't you repeat it back?

587. What is this about again?

588. - Diane wanted you to have this code before you two talked. - Why?

589. I, um, why?

590. I wasn't told all the whys and wherefores, but it seemed very important.

591. One second.

592. - What do you need? - You.

593. - Me, why? - We got the name of the patient in Syria.

594. His family lives in Chicago and they won't talk to me.

595. Why won't they talk to you?

596. Okay, one second.

597. Diane needs you to hold a second and she wants to talk to you.

598. Tell her to call me back. I have a guest here.

599. No, wait, wait, here she is.

600. Diane, he's on right now.

601. No, seriously, he's on the phone. He has a guest.

602. He's getting impatient.

603. Okay, I'll tell him.

604. She's just hanging up with the Feds,

605. and they have important information for you.

606. I'm hanging up now. No, I'm hanging up.

607. Tell her to call me back. No.

608. Then I'm sorry. Goodbye.

609. Sorry.

610. - Who was that? - Diane's assistant.

611. - Hmm. - Where were we?

612. I have to go.

613. You mention that you voted for him.

614. I am not just gonna say "I voted for Trump."

615. - Why not? - Because I am not defined by that.

616. Then say why our firm represents a cross-section of opinions.

617. Uh, yeah. One Trump supporter, 98 Hillary supporters.

618. You don't know that.

619. Hey, Julius.

620. Did you actually give Trump money?

621. - Mm.

622. - Hello. - Hi.

623. Beautiful stuff you have here.

624. Thank you. What are you looking for?

625. You, I guess. Do you have a minute?

626. Are you with him?

627. No.

628. Yes.

629. This is about your son.

630. Tariq is in Syria, and he needs your help.

631. This is my son, Tariq. He is not a terrorist.

632. Your Honor, this is the patient's mother.

633. - May we finish? - Yes, you may.

634. Mr. Morello, you'll have your moment.

635. Why was your son, Tariq, in Syria?

636. He...

637. he wanted to convince his brother to come home.

638. His brother.

639. - And what is the name of his brother? - Aimar.

640. And this would be Aimar Aboulafia,

641. a terrorist on America's Most Wanted list?

642. So Tariq's brother, Aimar,

643. would seem to be the terrorist the U.S. is after, not Tariq?

644. Tariq flew to Syria to try to stop him.

645. He is not a terrorist.

646. He is a student here. He is studying chemistry.

647. And he flew to Syria with an airline ticket?

648. Yes! To bring him home.

649. Your Honor, Dr. Picot should be allowed to continue Tariq's surgery

650. because the person he is helping not only is not a terrorist,

651. he is trying to persuade a terrorist to come home.

652. Mr. Morello. Anything?

653. Yes, Your Honor. One second, please.

654. U.S. Code 2339A prohibits anyone

655. from knowingly providing material support of any kind

656. to a terrorist or terrorist organization.

657. Unfortunately, by Ms. Aboulafia's admission,

658. that is exactly what Tariq did.

659. What? Your Honor... - Your Honor.

660. This is a new level of desperation.

661. What material support are we talking about here?

662. - The airplane tickets. - He wanted to bring his brother home.

663. Yes, which is supplying material support.

664. Oh, my God, the sophistry here is amazing.

665. Your Honor, Code 2339A

666. is content neutral.

667. In fact, the Supreme Court decision

668. in Holder v. Humanitarian Law Projectmade it very clear

669. that the good intentions of the Law Project

670. made no difference as to their culpability.

671. All that mattered is the material support itself.

672. These airline tickets are clearly material support.

673. - Unfortunately, I agree. - Your Honor.

674. - This is not— No.

675. I may agree with you on the spirit,

676. but not the letter of the law.

677. Holder v. HLP

678. is a Supreme Court precedent,

679. and that is how this court rules,

680. despite what my verdict means for the poor man in Syria.

681. The defendant is hereby detained until trial.

682. Yes, we need Dr. Picot.

683. Unfortunately, he's being held, Yusuf.

684. The patient is not doing well.

685. I know, we're still working on options.

686. What's going on?

687. There is someone here. He is threatening the staff.

688. Threatening with what?

689. Unless we operate, he will kill someone.

690. Uh, Yusuf, can you turn the iPhone toward him, The threatening man?

691. - Why? - Please. Can you turn the iPhone?

692. What are you doing?

693. That man right there.

694. That's the patient's brother, Aimar.

695. He's threatening the medical staff.

696. If the patient dies, he will kill them.

697. Your Honor, this court must consider the balance of hardships.

698. The risk of Tariq Aboulafia giving a plane ticket to a terrorist

699. are low and distant.

700. The risk of an entire medical staff being slaughtered by a terrorist

701. are high and immediate.

702. The balance of the hardships demand that this surgery proceed.

703. Mr. Morello, anything?

704. - Good job. - You, too.

705. - [APPLAUSE, CHEERING] - Hey!

706. No, no, no, don't thank me.

707. Thank Ju— Julius pitched.

708. - Julius pitched! - [APPLAUSE, CHEERING]

709. Can I help you?

710. You didn't vote for Trump.

711. Excuse me?

712. You didn't vote for Trump.

713. You won the bid, but you can win anything if you lie enough.

714. Uh, not that it matters, but I didn't lie.

715. Hmm.

716. Then you are in for a very lonely life, my friend.

717. Yeah, I'm a little busy, my friend, so, uh...

718. They'll thank you for winning the bid for them.

719. They'll shake your hand.

720. They'll slap you on the back.

721. They'll applaud.

722. And that will be it.

723. You'll take the long walk

724. back to this office.

725. And people will stop coming by.

726. They'll stop needing your help.

727. Okay, thank you. Goodbye.

728. For the day when that happens...

729. - Good job. - Thank you.

730. - What? - You think you're my type.

731. You're not.

732. You're too slick.

733. - The hair, the gel. - Oh, that's not gel.

734. Look, I'm gonna do you a favor.

735. I'll choose someone for you from the bar.

736. - Okay? Someone appropriate. - I can't wait.

737. - Who do we got? - Hmm.

738. Not him, he's a...

739. - Oh, I quite like him, actually. - Uh... Oh.

740. - Adorable. - There.

741. - Ah! - In the middle.

742. - Oh, yeah. - Yeah.

743. - The blonde. - Mm-hm.

744. - I'm not mad at that. - Yeah.

745. Where you going?

746. Home.

747. Give me one second.

748. Yeah.

749. Are you serious?

750. When?

751. - Michael? Can you turn that up? Why wasn't I told?

752. In a major victory for U.S.-led coalition forces,

753. the air strike killed Aimar Aboulafia,

754. an American-born leader of the Islamic State.

755. According to the White Helmets,

756. first responders on the ground in Syria,

757. the air strike also killed...

758. - I didn't know. - Didn't know what?

759. Aboulafia was raised in Chicago,

760. and was linked to terrorist activity in Iraq, as well as Syria.

761. They wanted the delay in court.

762. I was used, too.

763. - Just like you. - What are you talking about?

764. They wanted to draw the brother out.

765. They wanted to get him to that clinic.

766. Also reportedly killed in the drone strike

767. were Aboulafia's brother and 34 hospital personnel.

768. - Oh... You did it. - Yeah.

769. What is it?

770. Something to destroy Jax.

771. And Mom?

772. I don't know.
