ACKERMAN ALICE BAILIFF CHESTER CLAIRE CLARE CUSTOMER DAVE DEMETRI DRESCHER GRIEG HANNAH JENNIFER JOANNA JUDGE_ARMENDARIZ JUDGE_BATCHELLER JUDGE_SEGURA LOU MADISON MELISSA MILE MILES RAYMOND ROBOT SCOTT WINNIE YANCEY ZOEY CLAIRE Ladies and gentlemen of the jury... CLAIRE What they stole from her was more than just money. They stole... a part of her life? Yeah. ROBOT Wake up! ROBOT Wake up! ROBOT Wake up. CLAIRE Your robot woke me up at… CLAIRE …5:00 this morning. LOU You were already awake. I heard you practicing your speech. CLAIRE You were up, too? LOU I couldn't sleep, so I started working on an idea I have for swarm robots. LOU An open-sourced microbiotic robotic swarm to do space research. CLAIRE Okay, I only understood the words "working" and "research" in that sentence… CLAIRE …but I'm proud of you. LOU Thanks, Mom. CLAIRE Yeah! DAVE Hey, Claire! Free sample? CLAIRE Dave, how many times do I have to tell you? Giving away free doughnuts is not good business. DAVE Mm, defending clients who can't pay their bills isn't good business either. CLAIRE Touché, my friend. I'll take a dozen. DAVE The usual coconut? CLAIRE Yeah. DAVE You got it! DAVE It's a ritual. Her father never lost a case if he bought these, so she buys 'em, too. Just works. Here you go. CLAIRE Thank you. CLAIRE Keep the change. DAVE Thanks. CUSTOMER So, why'd she make the face? DAVE Because she hates coconut. CLAIRE What's the matter? CLAIRE Monday Blues? LOU Nope. I'm still the youngest one here. CLAIRE Well, yeah, you skipped two grades to get here. You don't like it? LOU No, it's fine. It just takes some getting used to. CLAIRE Yeah. CLAIRE Have a good day. WINNIE You have to… WINNIE …convince that one. The soccer mom. First row… WINNIE …fifth seat in. Look at her body language. She's closed… WINNIE …off. She's decided. CLAIRE We'll see. JUDGE SEGURA All right. Ms. Darrow? JUDGE SEGURA Are you ready to proceed? CLAIRE Yes. Sorry. One second. CLAIRE Okay. Thank you. Ahem. CLAIRE Look, I am a lawyer. I went to Yale, passed the bar, fine. CLAIRE What I really am, what I call myself when I'm making breakfast in the morning, and taking my kid to school, is a mom. A single mom trying to raise my daughter as best I can. CLAIRE Look, I know you don't want to be here. To tell you the truth, I don't want to be here either. But you know who really doesn't want to be here? My client. CLAIRE She didn't want to sue Grundy… CLAIRE …Plastics. She had to. CLAIRE Because they stole something from her. CLAIRE And what they stole from her was more than just money. CLAIRE It was a part of her life. CLAIRE When Jennifer Partisall was a young mother, she spent a lot of time cleaning things up, as we all do. One thing drove her crazy! CLAIRE Why can't anyone invent a spill-- CLARE …proof cup that really works? You know, something better than the so-called "sippy cup." CLAIRE It drove her mother crazy, too. So... what'd they do? They decided to work on it. CLAIRE Every night, after Jennifer put her kids to bed… CLAIRE …they decided to work on it together. CLAIRE It helped them take their minds off her mother's cancer. CLAIRE One day... CLAIRE …they finally did it! CLAIRE Just the two of them, together. CLAIRE Jennifer's mom died two weeks later. CLAIRE Well... she picked herself up. She borrowed a business suit and she went in to Grundy Plastics. CLAIRE What'd they tell her? There was no market for it. She'd wasted her time. CLAIRE Well, she wiped away her tears… CLAIRE …and she went home. But she didn't give up. CLAIRE She went and made it... CLAIRE …better. CLAIRE She decided to sell it herself! CLAIRE Someone told her she should put a patent on the idea, so she did… CLAIRE …that. She began to market it online and she did… CLAIRE …pretty well! Made a profit, in fact. CLAIRE Until big Grundy Plastics… CLAIRE …came out with this. CLAIRE Now, it wasn't as good as Jennifer's cup, but it had… CLAIRE …the power of the Grundy marketing division behind it. CLAIRE It crushed her cup. She went out of business. CLAIRE They admit they copied Jennifer's unpatented design. So, legally, they have a right to crush her dream. CLAIRE But the idea was Jennifer's. The design was Jennifer's. CLAIRE It takes a lot of courage to stand up to a company like Grundy Plastics. CLAIRE Jennifer has that courage... CLAIRE …to stand up for what's right. And you... you, the jury, have the power to decide here. CLAIRE Does Grundy Plastics deserve to make money off an idea that was born in a garage… CLAIRE …between a mother and daughter, in their last days together? CLAIRE Thank you. JENNIFER Thank you. CLAIRE You're welcome. WINNIE You got her. WINNIE How do you do it? CLAIRE I tell the truth. CHESTER The state argued that, by renting… CHESTER …the room which contained the illegally produced alcohol-- SCOTT "The moonshine." This is ridiculous. Renting a room in which moonshine is present doesn't constitute possession. CHESTER What's the actus reus? SCOTT Why are you always spouting Latin at me? CHESTER Don't blame me, blame the Roman Empire for codifying our laws. SCOTT I don't like the Roman Empire. I saw Gladiator. WINNIE We won! CLAIRE Yay! Okay… CLAIRE …all right, everybody. Back to work. RAYMOND You should learn to take some joy… RAYMOND …in your victories, Claire. CLAIRE Oh, joy. CLAIRE I should've asked for a bigger settlement. LOU Mom? Can I use your office computer to finish… LOU …my homework? CLAIRE Yes, but no Minecraft. LOU I've moved on to Skylanders. Keep up! CLAIRE Huh. SCOTT Hey, Winnie? Did you get those files that I asked you for? WINNIE I just came from the courtroom. When… WINNIE …was I supposed to get them? SCOTT I thought you'd do anything for me? WINNIE Did I ever say that? SCOTT Your eyes said it. WINNIE Oh, yeah? What else did they say? CHESTER I think she likes him. RAYMOND Well, there's like and then there's like. CHESTER What kind of "like" is that? RAYMOND That was like like. RAYMOND Sorry. CLAIRE All right, Raymond. Catch me up. RAYMOND Oh, well... big stuff. CLAIRE Mm-hmm. RAYMOND Okay, so... RAYMOND Winnie… RAYMOND …has a crush on Scott, right? RAYMOND But Scott isn't interested. But Chester, he's in love with Winnie, but Winnie doesn't know that, and of course, well, Scott's in love with himself, and everybody knows that. CLAIRE I meant the cases, not the office… CLAIRE …gossip. RAYMOND Oh, you don't know what you're missing. CLAIRE Oh, I know all about it! I observe. I ignore. JOANNA Hello, hello, everybody. JOANNA Bet you didn't expect to see me. RAYMOND Oh… CLAIRE Joanna! What are you doing here? JOANNA What, I can't pay you a visit? CLAIRE Oh, so it doesn't have… CLAIRE …anything to do with that insider-trading scandal… CLAIRE …I've been reading about in the papers? JOANNA You still… JOANNA …read newspapers? That is so old-school. Can we talk? WINNIE Who's that woman? CHESTER That's Claire's nemesis. WINNIE Claire has a nemesis? SCOTT All the best people have nemesises... SCOTT …or is it nemisi? RAYMOND Also happens to be Claire's mother. WINNIE Mother? CLAIRE So the firm is blaming you? JOANNA I am the designated fall-guy, yes. JOANNA Now, I'm not going to jail-- CLAIRE That's good. JOANNA But I'm out of a job… JOANNA …my reputation is in ruins, and no law firm of any… JOANNA …distinction will have me. JOANNA So! How are you? WINNIE How could someone's… WINNIE …mother be their nemesis? SCOTT You've lived… SCOTT …a very sheltered life, haven't you? RAYMOND Let me tell you something. Claire's whole adult life has been a rebellion against her mother. RAYMOND Right? Joanna likes money… RAYMOND …prestige, to play in the big… RAYMOND …sandbox. RAYMOND Claire, well... I mean, she likes... this. CLAIRE I'm really sorry, Joanna. JOANNA I didn't… JOANNA …come here for sympathy. JOANNA I came here with a business proposition. LOU Mom! A punctuation question-- LOU Grandma! JOANNA There’s… JOANNA …my little dickens! JOANNA Oh! You know that I… JOANNA …prefer it when you call me Joanna. LOU But you're my grandma. JOANNA All right… JOANNA …but not in public. Okay? JOANNA So tell me, how is high school treating you? LOU It's great. I'm making straight "A"s. JOANNA And… JOANNA …how are the older kids treating you? LOU The teachers think I'm great. JOANNA You are avoiding my question. LOU I am! JOANNA Yes, you are. So? JOANNA Come on. RAYMOND You all know that Claire… RAYMOND …worshipped her father, right? He built this firm. RAYMOND He was the kinda guy who would battle for what he thought was right-- RAYMOND …civil rights and championing the underprivileged, and so on. RAYMOND Halfway through Claire's first year at Yale… RAYMOND …he died and she was devastated. WINNIE Of course. RAYMOND To make matters worse… RAYMOND …her mother closed down the firm… RAYMOND …moved to New York, started working for one of those big, corporate law firms… RAYMOND …that her father battled against all his life. RAYMOND So, when Claire passed the bar, the first… RAYMOND …thing she did was move back here and reopen the firm. WINNIE To carry on her father's legacy? SCOTT And to get even with her mother. RAYMOND Yeah, she once swore to me that… RAYMOND …she would never allow her mother back into her life. WINNIE Wow. JOANNA Which one has the treasure? LOU They both do. JOANNA You're right! How did you know that? LOU You don't want to disappoint me. JOANNA Yeah. JOANNA That's true. LOU Thanks, Grandma. You're special. JOANNA How special? LOU You're like a being from another planet. The planet of New York. JOANNA Oh, I like that! CLAIRE She really likes you. JOANNA Yeah, I guess it skips a generation. JOANNA How's the firm doing? CLAIRE Oh, same as ever. Losing money. JOANNA I would like to offer myself as a full partner. CLAIRE Because no one else will have you? JOANNA Exactly. But there are conditions. JOANNA I want to keep on practicing corporate law. JOANNA I can bring in some rainmakers. So? What do you say? JOANNA …Claire... JOANNA Look, I haven't been exactly frugal with my finances. You know, I... I guess I expected the big money to just keep rolling in. CLAIRE I know how you love money. JOANNA I'm unemployed, I'm homeless, and I'm broke. I need this. CLAIRE Okay, well, you can stay with us. For a little while. A few days. JOANNA Well, you couldn't throw your only mother onto the street. CLAIRE I could. I choose not to. JOANNA We'll agree to disagree. DAVE Hey, Claire! DAVE I heard you won! CLAIRE Your doughnuts are magical. DAVE Well… DAVE …the kids at the Youth Village think so. JOANNA I see you're still… JOANNA …doing that? MILES Claire, bravo. Excellent, excellent closing argument. CLAIRE Miles. You were there? MILES I was there, I was there. As the Assistant District Attorney… MILES …I make it my business to observe… MILES …the best trial lawyer east of the Mississippi in action. CLAIRE Really? MILES That's right, I'm a fan. CLAIRE Wow. CLAIRE I've seen you in court as well, and you're, uh, not bad. MILES Oh! MILES You hear that? "Not bad." You know what, can I get that in writing? I wanna frame it, give it to my mom. Tell me something. MILES How do you get the jury eating out of your hand like that? CLAIRE Oh, I use a secret trick. MILES Tell me. CLAIRE I tell the truth. MILES "Truth." MILES That's preposterous! The court… MILES …will never allow that. CLAIRE Try it. MILES I might. I might. MILES What are you…? CLAIRE You look different. CLAIRE There's something... MILES It's the glasses. Yeah. CLAIRE Glasses. Oh, yeah! MILES Yeah. CLAIRE They don't suit you. MILES What? CLAIRE Mm-hmm. MILES Oh, they make me look smart. CLAIRE Mm. Like I said, they don't suit you. MILES Oh, ho, ho, ho! I see… MILES …what you did there. CLAIRE Yeah. MILES That's very good. You're mean. Oh, by the way, have you noticed? MILES Second Tuesday of the month. CLAIRE Oh, yeah. It’s the... CLAIRE …ninth time you ask me out to dinner, and the ninth time I… CLAIRE …politely decline. MILES Nine, but who's counting? All right, well, can't blame me for trying. CLAIRE I'm starting to. MILES Okay. CLAIRE Okay. MILES Ten's the charm. JOANNA Why? CLAIRE What? Why what? JOANNA Why did-- why did you turn him down? You have something better? CLAIRE Yes. My career, my daughter. JOANNA Oh, please. No, come on, sweetie. I mean, Victor has been dead for five years. CLAIRE Don't be gentle, speak right up. JOANNA That is a very attractive man. CLAIRE Well, then you go out with him! JOANNA Don't think I wouldn't. JOANNA Would it kill you to do something with that hair? I mean, is that how you actually showed up In court today? CLAIRE What… what is wrong with my hair? JOANNA It is time for you to get on with your life. CLAIRE I am getting on with my life in my own way. JOANNA Well, you know what? JOANNA Your own way is not working. No, it's leaving you poor and alone. CLAIRE You're one to talk. JOANNA Just listen to your mother. JOANNA You need to date, and you need to bring on some new clients… JOANNA …who pay real money. Claire, you have to turn your life around. CLAIRE My life doesn't need to turn. Are you done? CLAIRE Eat your doughnut. YANCEY Is your name David Kellerin? DAVE Um… DAVE …yeah. ACKERMAN You're under arrest. Turn around, face the counter. DAVE What? YANCEY You have the right to remain silent. DAVE I didn't do anything! YANCEY Anything you say can and will be used against you… CLAIRE What's going on? DAVE I didn't do anything! DAVE They can't arrest me. I'm on parole. They'll send me back to prison. CLAIRE What is this man being charged with? ACKERMAN Lady... ACKERMAN …mind your own business. CLAIRE This is my business. I'm this man's lawyer. ACKERMAN Since when? CLAIRE Since you called me "lady." ACKERMAN What is wrong with "lady"? MILES I think it's the way you said it. "Lady..." MILES The lady happens to be an excellent attorney. CLAIRE Thank you. MILES You're welcome. MILES Oh, you got something on your lip. CLAIRE Thank you. MILES You're welcome. YANCEY You'll have plenty of time to talk to him once we book him for grand… YANCEY …theft. Let's go. DAVE Make sure those doughnuts get to the Youth Village. CLAIRE I'll take care of the doughnuts, and I'll see you at the station. Don't worry! MILES Ah, I think he should worry. CLAIRE We'll see. MILES Okay. JOANNA Just so I understand, your latest client is an ex-con doughnut vendor? CLAIRE He needs my help. JOANNA Yeah, well, you know, rich people need help, too. You couldn't represent them? CLAIRE I've known Dave for years. I'm not about to desert him now. DRESCHER We live right above the store. Thank goodness we were at my brother's place, or we would've been there when the van-- DRESCHER There. That's the man. ACKERMAN You saw him in your store? How many times? DRESCHER Never. That's why I remember him. ACKERMAN Explain that. DRESCHER Well… DRESCHER …he used to stand across the street, just staring at the store. MILES How often? DRESCHER Every day. For a month. DRESCHER I guess he was, uh, oh, what do you call it? "Casing the joint." MILES He's the guy. I'm sorry, but you have to face facts. CLAIRE You're not wearing your glasses. MILES No, 'cause you s-- I... because I mis-- misplaced them. Somewhere. CLAIRE Why'd you take this case? MILES 'Cause I was assigned this case. CLAIRE Uh-huh. MILES What? You think I took this case to be next to you, to be near to you while you work? Okay, don't flatter yourself. That would be unprofessional. I'm a-- ah! I'm a... I'm a professional. CLAIRE Put your glasses back on. MILES I don't know w-- CLAIRE Hmm. MILES Hold the video. ACKERMAN Your client did a smash-and-grab at a jewelry store just a couple of blocks from the doughnut shop. MILES Now, this is the video from the security cam at the jewelry store. CLAIRE Oh, come on. That's your proof? You can't even see the guy's face! That could have been anybody. MILES That's David Kellerin's van. CLAIRE It looks like his van. ACKERMAN The plates match! MILES The plates match! CLAIRE Oh, fine, it's his van, but you don't know if he was driving it. MILES We also found one of the stolen watches in David Kellerin's backpack when we searched his van. CLAIRE Can I have a copy of this? MILES Of course. ACKERMAN Kellerin was also convicted of a series of burglaries in 2012. CLAIRE Yeah, he mentioned it. Did he use a van to break in those times? MILES No… ACKERMAN No-- CLAIRE So why would he change his M.O.? ACKERMAN Your client isn't smart enough to have an M.O. CLAIRE Oh, nice. MILES We also have an eyewitness… MILES …that saw a man driving the van away from the scene of the crime, and identified that man as guess who-- David Kellerin. CLAIRE Eyewitnesses… CLAIRE …are notoriously unreliable. You know that! MILES I know you don't… MILES …want to hear this, but it might be time for you start thinking about a plea bargain. CLAIRE Why would I want to do that? He's on parole! He'd still go to prison for 20 years. CLAIRE This guy's just getting his life back on track. Why do you want to ruin it? MILES Look at the evidence. He's guilty. And you… MILES …should be thinking about making the best deal for your client because… MILES …that is what's best for him. JOANNA Oh… Well, you haven't exactly been keeping the place up, have you? CLAIRE Well, Dad left me the house, he didn't really leave me the funds to keep it up. JOANNA Well, why don't you just sell it? I mean, I'm sure you'd get a good price for the land. CLAIRE I assume you're kidding. JOANNA In the meantime, those curtains have got to go. CLAIRE Or... or you could say, "Thank you, Claire, for opening up your home to me." JOANNA Well, that goes without saying. CLAIRE Try saying it. JOANNA Thank you, Claire, for opening your house, and for changing those curtains. JOANNA And that is not the only thing I want to change. Now, we need to start bringing in clients… JOANNA …who can really make us some money. JOANNA Hmm? CLAIRE Let me show you the guest room. JOANNA Okay. JOANNA Oh. JOANNA Looks like camp. Anyway, the company I am thinking of is Dylbrooke Inc. JOANNA They're having a dispute among their shareholders. They make bus bar, fuse protectors, low-voltage disconnect switches. CLAIRE Hush, I’m… CLAIRE …dozing off just hearing about it. JOANNA Well, I'm sorry if it… JOANNA …isn't glamorous enough for you. CLAIRE Look... I've decided. You can stay here for a bit, but you can't join the firm. CLAIRE You're just... you're not... a good philosophical fit for the rest of the team. CLAIRE You wouldn't be happy there. JOANNA Lou? LOU I'm in here! JOANNA Hi. Need any help with your homework? LOU Nope. Would you like some lemonade? JOANNA I would. JOANNA Oh, now, those are nice curtains. JOANNA Well... JOANNA Wow. Well, I guess if life gives you lemons... LOU Make a robot… LOU …that makes lemonade. JOANNA Very good. JOANNA Okay, let's have a look. JOANNA Uh-huh. JOANNA Uh, well, yep. No, this-- this all looks good to me. LOU You don't understand it, do you? JOANNA Not… JOANNA …even a little bit. JOANNA But then, math was never my strong suit. LOU What were you good at? JOANNA Uh, being popular. JOANNA So, tell me, how is school going for you? LOU The teachers say I'm excelling. JOANNA And what about the other kids? LOU I'm supposed to be working on a project with two girls… LOU …and I don't quite... LOU …fit in with them... yet. I'm younger than they are. They... they kind of tease me. JOANNA Do they bully you? LOU I think so. JOANNA Oh, honey… JOANNA …if you think they're doing it, then they're doing it. JOANNA Lou isn't happy at school. CLAIRE What, did she tell you that? JOANNA No, she didn't have to. JOANNA Why did you send her to that school, anyway? CLAIRE She wanted to go. It's the best school in the city. She loves it. JOANNA No, she loves the school, sure, but she doesn't fit in with the other kids. CLAIRE Please. I was the same way. I never fit in. Look how I turned out. JOANNA Exactly. Okay, I think that we should have Lou… JOANNA …invite those girls she's doing the project with over to the house… JOANNA …to do their work together, and then we… JOANNA …can watch and see what they're really like. CLAIRE What if they're jerks? JOANNA Well, you know what that age is like! Fitting in is everything. CLAIRE Oh, "fitting in," please. Like Procrustes with his bed? JOANNA See, now, that's… JOANNA …why you never fit in. You said stuff like that. CLAIRE Well, I-- CLAIRE Good night, honey. LOU Good night, Mom. CLAIRE Lou, you know who Procrustes is, right? LOU Sure. In Greek mythology, he's the son of Poseidon, who would offer travelers a night in his bed. If they didn't fit, he'd stretch them or chop them till they did. CLAIRE See? Everybody knows that. LOU No, everybody doesn't know that. LOU Only nerds. Like us. CLAIRE We're not nerds! We're... we're educated. LOU Same difference. CLAIRE Do you want to talk? LOU About what? CLAIRE Oh, about... things. About... CLAIRE …school. LOU School's fine. CLAIRE It takes time to make friends. LOU Okay. How long does it take? CLAIRE Well, depends. CLAIRE Why don't you invite some of your friends over… CLAIRE …to the house? LOU I don't have any friends. CLAIRE Well… CLAIRE …what about the kids that are working on your project? CLAIRE You could invite them over. LOU They don't like me. CLAIRE Well, they don't know you. Give them a chance. LOU I guess I could ask them. LOU You'd be here? CLAIRE Of course. CLAIRE Or... Grandma could be here. LOU I'd like Grandma. CLAIRE Okay. LOU You understand, don't you? It's that Grandma, you know... CLAIRE Isn't a nerd or a... Yeah, I-- I get it. CLAIRE Give those kids some time. They'll see how special you are. LOU I don't want them to think I'm special. I want them to think I'm normal. CLAIRE She says she wants to be normal. I mean, I never wanted to be normal, even when I was a little! I wanted to stand out. RAYMOND Well, that's you, isn't it? Wanting to be normal is normal. CLAIRE Wait, so you're saying I'm not normal? RAYMOND No, not at all, I-- Yeah. CLAIRE Thank you. I think. DAVE Okay, I did some crazy stuff when I was young. I fell in… DAVE …with a bad crowd, but I have been on the straight and narrow ever since. CLAIRE You were convicted of burglary five years ago. You're weren't that young. DAVE Well, I was younger. Like you said, it's been five years since I've stolen a thing. RAYMOND Well, three of those were spent in prison. You can't really get credit for those. DAVE I guess not, but, I mean, the last two years… DAVE …straight and narrow. Totally! DAVE I starting working at my uncle's doughnut shop, and when he died, I took it over. I wanted to help people… DAVE …to help the community. CLAIRE They're gonna say that was just a cover. The jewelry store owner says you used to stand across the street and stare at the place. DAVE He's lying! Or he's got me confused with somebody else! CLAIRE They have an eyewitness who places you at the scene of the crime on the night in question. DAVE I wasn't there! I was in my apartment. DAVE I rented Lawrence of Arabia on demand. CLAIRE Um... what about the van? DAVE I told you. It was stolen. CLAIRE And then returned to you? DAVE Yes. RAYMOND Did you report it to the police? DAVE No. CLAIRE That seems odd to me. DAVE Because you've never been to prison. It makes you... you don't want to talk to the cops. DAVE You think twice about it. DAVE But in the morning, I decided I should report it stolen… DAVE …and then I looked, and it was back. So… DAVE …how could I report it stolen, if I had it? If I had it back? CLAIRE All right, what about the watch? DAVE I-I don't know. CLAIRE It's a Rolex. It's worth almost $3,000. DAVE A watch? Worth that? CLAIRE Seems strange… CLAIRE …to me, too, but there it was. In your backpack. DAVE I have no idea how it got there. CLAIRE Dave... CLAIRE I got to tell you, this is the weakest story I have ever heard. DAVE I know. CLAIRE And that's exactly why I believe you. CLAIRE You know, you're cheating death every time you ride that thing. RAYMOND I cheat… RAYMOND …death every time I get up in the morning. CLAIRE Hey, I want to play you something. RAYMOND Okay. CHESTER Winnie... WINNIE Yes? CHESTER There's something I've been meaning to ask you. For weeks, actually. WINNIE Yes? CHESTER Can I borrow a pen? I lost mine. WINNIE Weeks ago? CHESTER I've looked for it everywhere. CHESTER Thanks. RAYMOND So because his story is stupid, you believe him? CLAIRE Exactly. RAYMOND It couldn't be that he's just stupid? I mean, it couldn't be that, right? CLAIRE Well, it could be, but he's also telling the truth. I can tell. RAYMOND Oh, yeah? Oh, yeah, that again. CLAIRE I know when people are lying. I am never wrong. CLAIRE Scott, I need your investigative ability. SCOTT You know me. I can find anything, anywhere. CLAIRE I need you to confirm an alibi that doesn't exist. SCOTT Ah, I'm up for that. CLAIRE Great! CLAIRE Thank you. Aw. CLAIRE You know, Scott's a good guy. You were right about him. CLAIRE Did you know he graduated at the top of his class from Princeton? RAYMOND Yeah. CLAIRE He could get a job at any firm in the country. RAYMOND Yeah, except for that little peccadillo of concealing evidence in a murder case to get his client off. CLAIRE He was accused of concealing evidence. CLAIRE He didn't do it. Still… CLAIRE …hard to get a job after that. RAYMOND Until… RAYMOND …you took a chance on him. CLAIRE Yeah. CLAIRE Hmm. I like to take chances on people. RAYMOND Yeah, like Chester and his… RAYMOND …poor people skills? Or Winnie and her bossy personality? CLAIRE Yeah, or you? CLAIRE Choosing to deliberately and irresponsibly get older… CLAIRE …despite being aware of the consequences? RAYMOND All right, guilty as charged. I guess you could call us the Island of Misfit Attorneys. CLAIRE I like that. All right, give this a listen. RAYMOND Well, that's definitely a motorcycle. Sounds like he's had the baffles taken off, or maybe after-market pipes or something. Play it again? RAYMOND Yeah, that's an old one. That's a classic. Could be an Indian, maybe a Vincent. CLAIRE I knew your days as a Big Dog would pay off. RAYMOND You figure this… RAYMOND …guy who was riding the motorcycle might've seen something the cops didn't? CLAIRE Yeah. Only problem is, how do we find him? JOANNA Hey... how about I take… JOANNA …you shopping tomorrow? LOU What's wrong with my clothes? JOANNA Nothing. You look great. LOU I'm doomed. JOANNA So, show me the girls that you want to have over. LOU I don't want to have them over. LOU You do. JOANNA You know what I mean. JOANNA Come on. WINNIE The shops were all closed at 11:00. CLAIRE There's offices on the second floor. Maybe somebody was there. ALICE Yeah, sure, I was here. I had to finish up a commission. CLAIRE So what'd you see? ALICE Well, I heard a sound that was like smashing glass, and by the time I went over to the window, all I saw was the van pulling out. WINNIE Did you see the driver? ALICE No, I didn't. CLAIRE Can you remember anything else? ALICE Mm, sorry. ALICE Oh, there was that stupid motorcycle... CLAIRE What about it? ALICE Oh, it drove by right… ALICE …after the smashing sound, just like always. So loud! CLAIRE Like always? ALICE For the past week… ALICE …that motorcycle has been driving down this street three times a day… ALICE …9:00, 6:00, and 11:00. Like clockwork, always going in the same direction. ALICE I mean, where could he be going? CLAIRE I have no idea. JUDGE ARMENDARIZ In the case of the State… JUDGE ARMENDARIZ …versus David Peter Kellerin… JUDGE ARMENDARIZ …how does the defendant plead? DAVE Not guilty. CLAIRE Your Honor, I'd like to bring up the matter of bail. MILES Your Honor... MILES …Mr. Kellerin is an ex-convict and a clear flight risk. CLAIRE Mr. Kellerin was a model prisoner who never violated… CLAIRE …any of the terms of his parole. In fact, I'd feel comfortable… CLAIRE …having him in my own home. JUDGE ARMENDARIZ You would? CLAIRE Absolutely, Your Honor. JUDGE ARMENDARIZ All right… JUDGE ARMENDARIZ …the court sets his bail at $10,000… JUDGE ARMENDARIZ …on the condition that the defendant is… JUDGE ARMENDARIZ …remanded to the custody of Ms. Darrow. CLAIRE I'm sorry, what? JUDGE ARMENDARIZ Do you have a problem with that, Ms. Darrow? CLAIRE Oh! No, Your Honor. CLAIRE Thank you, Your Honor. MILES Thank you, Your Honor. DAVE What does that mean? CLAIRE It means you'll be helping my daughter with her homework. MILES You're making a mistake. CLAIRE Hmm? MILES I said, you're making a mistake. CLAIRE I don't know, I get doughnuts for breakfast. I think it's a win-win. MILES You should be thinking… MILES …less about doughnuts and more about your client. MILES Plea bargain. Plead guilty. CLAIRE What if he's innocent? MILES I-- MILES You know, Darrow, I admire your idealism, okay? MILES We examined the so-called "stolen" van. It only has… MILES …Kellerin's fingerprints on it, meaning he's guilty… MILES …he did it, and you're making a mistake. CLAIRE So are you. MILES Me? MILES How am I making a mistake? CLAIRE You look better with the glasses. MILES M-- I do? CLAIRE Mm-hmm. MILES That's good… MILES …because I see better with 'em, too. Hello. MILES You're good-looking. CLAIRE Thank you. Okay. MILES You're welcome. CLAIRE But you should probably pick a better time to flirt. It's kinda weird. MILES Why? It's the second… MILES …Wednesday of the month. You know what that means. CLAIRE Yes. And yes. MILES Okay, can't blame a guy for try-- What? CLAIRE I-- CLAIRE What? I'm gonna go out to dinner with you. MILES Are you serious? CLAIRE I'm serious! MILES You mic’d? MILES Is this a thing? Is this a-- this a camera thing? Seriously. What did I do? MILES What did I do different? What did I do right? CLAIRE Nothing. MILES No? CLAIRE No. CLAIRE I'm going out to dinner with you because, uh... CLAIRE …it's the normal thing to do, so... I’m gonna… MILES Okay. CLAIRE Yeah. MILES Okay, great. CLAIRE Okay. MILES 'Kay. CLAIRE Bye. MILES I'm not sure how I feel about that. MILES Okay, you're gone now, so I'm just a guy in a hallway. DAVE Okay, now the trick is to have them rise, but not over-rise. CLAIRE Okay, I'm taking notes. DAVE Hey, uh, thanks for putting me up. I-I feel like I'm intruding. CLAIRE Oh… CLAIRE …no, please. We don't use that old sewing room anyway. Who sews? LOU Are they here yet? CLAIRE Your friends? They'll be here soon. LOU They're not my friends. They're my classmates. Classmates who don't like me! CLAIRE Lou… CLAIRE …remember what your dad always said-- when you get overwhelmed or scared, you think… CLAIRE …about... LOU I know, I know. My safe place. CLAIRE Yes, and where is your safe place? LOU Snug in my bed at home. DAVE You know, I used to do that… DAVE …all the time. CLAIRE What? Really? DAVE Yeah… DAVE …my safe place was in my grandma's kitchen. It's where I first learned to make doughnuts. LOU Maybe I'll try that. My safe place doesn't seem to be working. CLAIRE You'll be fine! DAVE Okay. CLAIRE Dave, are you sure you can't remember anything else about the night of the burglary? DAVE I told you, I live alone. One night just… DAVE …kinda blends into another. DAVE But I tell ya, I'm gonna have a solid alibi for every day of my life from now on. CLAIRE Oh, boy! CLAIRE Hi! HANNAH Hi. Is this Lou Darrow's house? CLAIRE Yes. Come in, come in. Lou! Your friends-- uh, classmates are here! CLAIRE Lou? CLAIRE She comes out here sometimes, so she's probably just hanging out. Oh! There she is. CLAIRE They're here. HANNAH Hello, Lou. MADISON Nice playhouse, kid. HANNAH Did your daddy build it for you? LOU Yes, he did. Before he died. JOANNA So who wants lemonade? JOANNA So? How's it going? HANNAH This is hopeless. MADISON We can't do this. JOANNA Well, I bet Lou can help. Where is Lou? HANNAH In there, I guess. JOANNA Be right back. JOANNA Hey, Lou. LOU Hey. JOANNA Now, you know, that this isn't what we had in mind. LOU It's no use. They don't like me. JOANNA Well, a lot of people don't like me when I first meet them, but… JOANNA …I don't let that stop me. I just… JOANNA …find out what they need and I help them get it. LOU That works? They like you then? JOANNA Well, they respect me, which, you know, is better than liking. JOANNA So tell me… JOANNA …about this project that you're all working on. LOU We're supposed to… LOU …make a robot that can navigate an obstacle course while transferring geometric shapes. JOANNA Well, you're a natural at that. I mean, you're great at building… JOANNA …things. LOU I know! JOANNA So, what's the problem? LOU We know how to build it. LOU We just can't get our hands on enough equipment. You know, scrap metal, electronic stuff. JOANNA You know, I think I might be able to help you with that. JOANNA So, how's the old firm treating you? MELISSA It's not the same since you left. MELISSA I don't think I'm big enough fish for them. JOANNA Right, you only bring in, like, $10 million a year, don't you? MELISSA 15, this year. Small change. JOANNA You know, I went back to the family firm, and Darrow & Darrow would be happy to represent… JOANNA …you. MELISSA I know Claire personally. She's a great lady, but I don't think I'm the kind of client her firm usually takes… MELISSA …on. JOANNA We're going a different way. MELISSA Good to hear. So, tell me... who is this? JOANNA Oh, this is my associate, Louise Darrow. MELISSA "Associate?" MELISSA She seems rather young. Is it "bring your daughter to work day"? LOU Granddaughter. MELISSA Ahh. JOANNA Louise is an apprentice-in-training. JOANNA She's in charge of recycling, re-purposing, you know, generally keeping the company green. MELISSA Good for you. JOANNA So, before… JOANNA …we begin, let's talk electronic… JOANNA …donations and recycling, shall we? MELISSA Sounds good. JOANNA Thanks again, Melissa. MELISSA Thank you. JOANNA So you're sure you've got enough stuff? LOU Absolutely. This is great! JOANNA Uh, oh, one thing. Don't tell your mom, or anyone, actually, where you got this stuff until I can sort of, you know, lay the groundwork. JOANNA Okay? LOU Okay. JOANNA Good. Watch your step. LOU You watch your step! JOANNA Oh, honey, I'm an old pro at this. MADISON Whoa. HANNAH Wow. HANNAH Where did you get all that stuff? LOU I can't say. It's a secret. MADISON Whoa. RAYMOND Now, why aren't you getting ready for your date with Miles? CLAIRE I don't think I'm up for this. Why did I agree to go? RAYMOND Because you wanted to be normal. CLAIRE Why'd I want that? RAYMOND You gotta trust me. RAYMOND All right? It's gonna be fine. CLAIRE I haven't been on a date in... CLAIRE …oh, my gosh, it's been 20 years! RAYMOND So it's time. CLAIRE It's not! I’m extinct. CLAIRE I'm a dating dinosaur. RAYMOND Claire… RAYMOND …Miles is a really nice guy. CLAIRE Well, maybe, or maybe he is a serial killer. CLAIRE You don't know! RAYMOND Claire… RAYMOND …you know Miles not a serial… RAYMOND …killer. You are making… RAYMOND …excuses. Come on. CLAIRE But they're good excuses. RAYMOND Come on. CLAIRE Okay. Promise you'll call me in 30 minutes, okay? Give me a way out. RAYMOND I definitely will not call you. CLAIRE And we have… CLAIRE …to have a code word, in case he's holding me hostage. RAYMOND Go. Have the sand dabs. They're terrific. CLAIRE Right! If I say "sand dabs," call the police. RAYMOND It's gonna be fine. It might even be fun. CLAIRE Promise you'll call. RAYMOND All right, I'll call. CLAIRE You're a really nice person. RAYMOND Yes, I know. CLAIRE Thank you. I really apprec—Oh. RAYMOND You're going now. CLAIRE Okay. CLAIRE Thank you. CLAIRE Hi. Oh… MILES Uh-- MILES Hi. Hi there. Sorry. I meant to do that. CLAIRE Yeah, I've never seen you do that in court. MILES Yeah, well, I… I prepared it. CLAIRE That's impressive. MILES I don't do it in court because they don't allow breadsticks. CLAIRE All right, I want to lay down some ground rules for this date. CLAIRE Okay, the first rule is that we are not… CLAIRE …going to define this as a date or not a date. MILES Uh-huh. MILES So this is… MILES …or is not… MILES …a date. Understood. CLAIRE Second, we are not going to… CLAIRE …discuss the Kellerin case, or work in any form, including, but not limited to, judges and/or co-workers. MILES Sustained. 'Cause we're professionals. MILES What… MILES …can we discuss? CLAIRE The field is wide open. MILES Nice... weather… MILES …we're having. CLAIRE Yes! A good, neutral topic. I approve. MILES You approve of the weather or the topic? CLAIRE Okay, I guess I'm a little nervous. MILES That's okay. MILES I'm nervous, too. We're-- you know what? We're both adults. Let's just talk. You know what? Ask me questions, fire away. Ask me anything. MILES I'm an open book. CLAIRE Why are you still single? MILES Man... you go straight for the jugular, don't you? CLAIRE No, I'm serious. Are you divorced? A widower? A confirmed bachelor? Why are you still alone at your age? MILES I'm alone… MILES …if you must know, Nosy Parker… MILES …because... MILES …of my obsession with figurines and snow globes. Collecting them. CLAIRE You're kidding. MILES Kidding. MILES Okay. Here goes. MILES I was married... but my wife passed away, she had cancer. CLAIRE I'm sorry. MILES It's okay. It's not your fault. MILES And I know your husband... CLAIRE Yeah. Traffic accident. MILES It's funny, nobody really knows what it's like. MILES I mean, they offer their sympathy-- CLAIRE Oh, I hate it when they offer their-- Right? It's the worst. MILES I wish-- I wish they wouldn't say anything. I prefer… MILES …they didn't say anything. What can you say? Unless somebody has... CLAIRE Yeah. MILES You know, me... MILES ...and her... you know, I wanted to be there… MILES …all the time, just stay by her side, hold her hand. MILES You know, hours... days... weeks. MILES Finally, my brother, you know, made me go home take a shower, get cleaned up... MILES …and when I came back... MILES …she was gone. CLAIRE We had a fight. We had a fight the last time I saw him. CLAIRE It was stupid. It was a stupid little fight. And... CLAIRE …I told him we'd talk about it when he got back. CLAIRE But he never did. MILES That's heartbreaking. MILES All the conversations you never have. MILES To this day, something will happen… MILES …and I'll say, "Oh, I can't wait to tell Amy." CLAIRE You'll tell her. One day. MILES You know, most of the time, we would just stay in and watch old movies. CLAIRE Oh, we did that, too! CLAIRE Like, um, Anatomy of a Murder. MILES Oh! MILES One of our favorites. Absolutely. The Verdict? CLAIRE Oh… CLAIRE …yes! Loved it! What about A Few Good Men? MILES "You can't handle the truth!" Yeah.12 Angry Men? CLAIRE Oh… CLAIRE …one of the best. MILES Yes, it is. All, I notice, trial movies, of course. CLAIRE Of course! MILES Yeah. MILES Are you gonna answer that? CLAIRE No. CLAIRE That's my escape call. MILES Your “escape…” MILES …call? CLAIRE What? I'm sorry. MILES Yeah, I ignored mine 10 minutes ago. CLAIRE What? MILES Yeah. CLAIRE This is nice. MILES Yeah, it is. Maybe we should go on a date. CLAIRE Yeah, I'm considering it. MELISSA Claire? MELISSA How've you been? CLAIRE Oh, Melissa! How are you? MELISSA Better, since you took my case. CLAIRE Since I what? MELISSA I have to say, I'm really glad… MELISSA …you got back together with your mother. The two of you are gonna be unstoppable. Excuse me. MILES Is something wrong? CLAIRE My mother... she's unstoppable. CLAIRE How could you do that? JOANNA I thought if I presented it as afait accompli-- CLAIRE That I'd just… CLAIRE …go along with it? JOANNA Yes! And realize that it was for the best. JOANNA Look, your firm can go chasing windmills all it wants, but somebody has bring in some real money. JOANNA Let me do it! CLAIRE You had no right to present yourself as a member of this firm. JOANNA Excuse me. What-- what is the name of the… JOANNA …firm again? CLAIRE "Darrow & Darrow." JOANNA And what is my name? CLAIRE That doesn’t… CLAIRE …matter! You shut it down. I am trying to save it. JOANNA Well, so am I! JOANNA Now, I know you think that I ran out on you, when your father died, but I just… JOANNA … I just couldn't stand to go back into that office every day. Everything… JOANNA …in there reminded me of him, and it was just too much. JOANNA So, when I got offered a job by that firm in New York, I thought… JOANNA “This is my chance to start fresh, to follow my dream." JOANNA Can't you understand that? CLAIRE So now you're back because you have no place else to go? JOANNA Because I want to be with my daughter… JOANNA …and my granddaughter! JOANNA Everything I did, I did for her. CLAIRE How is that? JOANNA Dylbrooke makes electronic equipment. JOANNA They have all this computer and electrical stuff lying… JOANNA …around, and I thought that Lou could use it for her project. CLAIRE Well, that was very nice. JOANNA Yes! It was. JOANNA And I-I thought it would impress her friends. CLAIRE Oh, that's why you did it? CLAIRE You told Lou that, in order to make friends… CLAIRE …she has to give them something they want? JOANNA It's one way. CLAIRE Well, I am trying to teach her another way. CLAIRE I am trying to teach her that if people… CLAIRE …don't like her for who she really she is… CLAIRE …they shouldn't be her friends. JOANNA Okay, do you really believe that? I mean, this is why you didn't have any friends in high school. SCOTT Okay, so you say you… SCOTT …were home alone, watching Lawrence of Arabia. How am I supposed to confirm that? CHESTER We could check his On Demand account. CHESTER See if he ordered it at the time the crime was committed. RAYMOND Can't be in two places at one time. Why don't you run it by Claire? ZOEY Uh, she's busy. MELISSA Ever since my father died, my brother's been trying to take over… MELISSA …the company. We're fighting for control of the board… MELISSA …we’re fighting for-- CLAIRE Melissa, I told you. I can't take on your case at this time. CLAIRE My mother does not work for this firm. CLAIRE There was a misunderstanding... caused by her telling you a lie. MELISSA I understand that. MELISSA But I'm here. I'm in your office. I have your attention. MELISSA Won't you just listen? CLAIRE I really can't. MELISSA Please, then? Let's just chat for five minutes. CLAIRE I guess I could talk for five minutes. CLAIRE I'm sorry. I got to take this. Hello? CLAIRE I just got off the phone with Lou's school. She's been sent home. RAYMOND Go. JOANNA She was suspended? CLAIRE She was sent home from school. She can go back tomorrow, but-- JOANNA Why was she sent home? CLAIRE Something about all the equipment you got her. CLAIRE I don't know the specifics yet. JOANNA No specifics? What is this? A fascist state? CLAIRE Okay, you can't just call everyone you don't like a fascist, it loses… CLAIRE …its power. JOANNA Oh, so now you're on their side? I thought you fought for the little guy, or… JOANNA …girl, in this case. CLAIRE Don't pretend this isn't about you. CLAIRE Everything is always about you, except… CLAIRE ……the stuff that's obviously about you. JOANNA How is this about me? CLAIRE How is this not about you? DAVE Do they always argue like this? LOU They do lately. CLAIRE What did you think would happen? JOANNA No, listen here… CLAIRE What time is it? RAYMOND Two minutes to 9:00. RAYMOND Why are we doing this? CLAIRE Something about this… CLAIRE …phantom motorcyclist bothers me. I want to talk… CLAIRE …to him. RAYMOND Just because you don't know who it is doesn't make him a phantom. CLAIRE Well-- CLAIRE Hello. Whoa-- RAYMOND Whoa. You all right? CLAIRE Yeah. RAYMOND Okay, he is a phantom. RAYMOND All right, everyone, I know… RAYMOND …this is quick, but the Mayor's on a law-and-order kick, and this case has been fast-tracked. We are going to trial. RAYMOND All I ask is that you do your best. ZOEY Amen. RAYMOND That wasn't a prayer. ZOEY It sounded like one. CHESTER The TV rental idea didn't pan out. CHESTER He ordered the film at 10:15. CHESTER The burglary happened at 11. Still plenty of time… CHESTER …for him to have hit the jewelry store. CHESTER Raymond. RAYMOND Yeah? CHESTER I'm gonna ask Winnie to dinner. RAYMOND She's out of pens. SCOTT Hey, Winnie. What are you doing Saturday night? I thought we could go out. WINNIE Sure. Why not? CLAIRE All right, gang. Let's do this. RAYMOND What's the matter? CLAIRE No doughnuts. RAYMOND Well, you're gonna have to do it on your own. CLAIRE I guess. CLAIRE Come on. RAYMOND Let's go. Let's go. Yeah. SCOTT Good luck. CLAIRE Thank you. ZOEY Good luck. ZOEY Good luck. DAVE Thank you. MILES Uh, hello? CLAIRE Oh. Hello. MILES Hello. MILES So, um... you didn't call… MILES …after our date, our non-date. CLAIRE You didn't call either. MILES I didn't know if I was supposed to call. MILES Am I supposed to call you? Or you call me? Or how long do we wait? MILES Or are we supposed to text? I don't know. It's all very confusing. CLAIRE I know! They should put out a manual. MILES Yeah, I'd buy it. CLAIRE I would too! MILES Yeah? CLAIRE This isn't time for chit-chat. This is trial time. MILES I know! Yes. MILES Opposing attorneys. CLAIRE Yeah. MILES Out for blood. MILES Very professional. MILES Maybe I'll call you after? CLAIRE I don't know. MILES I don't know either. MILES I'd wish you luck in there, but I plan to… MILES …crush you like a bug. CLAIRE Really? MILES In a professional sense. CLAIRE Have fun with that. MILES Okay. I will. CLAIRE Okay. CLAIRE Thank you. MILES Ladies first. MILES Oh, boy. CLAIRE Don't worry. DAVE I'm worried. JOANNA Hello, Counselor. CLAIRE What are you doing here? JOANNA Well, I thought perhaps… JOANNA …you needed an advisor. Oh, are you wearing… JOANNA …that in court? CLAIRE Yes. And I have advisors. CLAIRE Oodles of them. JOANNA Yes, but are any of them me? CLAIRE No… CLAIRE …thank goodness. JOANNA Look, I know… JOANNA …we said a lot of things last night-- CLAIRE This really isn't the time. JOANNA We said a lot of things last night-- CLAIRE That we didn't mean, I know. JOANNA No, we meant them. JOANNA At least I did. Every word. JOANNA But I think it's good that we cleared the air. CLAIRE Is that what we did? JOANNA Look, I just need to know if we're okay. Are we okay? CLAIRE Really? You pick now for this? CLAIRE Is it because I have to say yes or you're just gonna keep talking? JOANNA No, you don't have to… JOANNA …say yes, but are we okay? CLAIRE Yes! Now just-- CLAIRE Come on. BAILIFF All rise! CLAIRE Here. See who it is. JOANNA Hello? CLAIRE Take it outside. JOANNA I'll be right back. JOANNA Uh, can you just hold on one minute? CLAIRE Make sure she doesn't come back. RAYMOND Yeah. JOANNA Yes, this is Ms. Darrow. Uh, no, another Ms. Darrow. JOANNA Uh-huh. JOANNA Yes. I'll-- I'll tell her. RAYMOND What is it? JOANNA It was Lou's school. She's run away. MILES Your Honor, the State will prove… MILES …that not only was David Kellerin at the scene of the crime-- he was the only person… MILES …at the scene of the crime. We have an eyewitness placing David Kellerin at the scene… MILES …of the crime. RAYMOND Well? JOANNA They're in the middle of opening arguments. She wouldn't want to be interrupted. RAYMOND Yeah, but Lou is gone. JOANNA Just… JOANNA …give me an hour… JOANNA …and don't tell Claire. Just one… JOANNA …hour. RAYMOND What are you going to do? JOANNA I'm gonna find Lou. RAYMOND One hour. MILES Your Honor… MILES …I'm only stating the case that… MILES …the evidence will prove. MILES Thank you. CLAIRE Oh, hey. Did you get rid of her? RAYMOND Uh... she's running an errand. CLAIRE Good thinking! WINNIE The doctor on the end. WINNIE He's the linchpin. CLAIRE May it please the court. CLAIRE All right, the State has a lot of evidence… CLAIRE …against Dave. CLAIRE I don't like to call him "my client". I like to call him Dave. CLAIRE He's Dave, the guy who makes doughnuts. Dave... CLAIRE …the guy who was accused of a crime he didn't commit. CLAIRE Now, they have a video of the crime. CLAIRE They have the van that belongs to Dave. CLAIRE And they have an eyewitness… CLAIRE …who says he saw Dave driving away from the scene of the crime. But... CLAIRE …on the video, you can't see the driver's face. We will present evidence that shows that the van… CLAIRE …in question was stolen before the crime was committed. CLAIRE So the only evidence… CLAIRE …that the State has that links Dave Kellerin… CLAIRE …to the scene of the crime is this eyewitness. CLAIRE But a witness's desire to help is a powerful one. CLAIRE A person who slightly resembles… CLAIRE …the culprit is likely to be misidentified because of that. CLAIRE The State has no other evidence… CLAIRE …that places Dave at the scene of the crime. CLAIRE Nothing… CLAIRE …except for the desire to have someone to blame. JOANNA You do realize that when you play hooky, you don’t… JOANNA …you don't have to do your homework? LOU I feel guilty. I'm doing extra credit work. JOANNA Oh, you are one strange… JOANNA …little juvenile delinquent. LOU I can't stand being at school. I'm dropping out. JOANNA Why? LOU When I showed up with all… LOU …those high-tech materials and I couldn't say where I got them, everyone thought I'd stolen them. JOANNA But I told you to tell them! LOU I did! LOU But, by then, it was too late. Everyone thought I was just making it up to cover what I really did. JOANNA I am so sorry. LOU When I got back from being suspended, it was even worse. LOU Everyone looks at me like I'm a… criminal. Some of them even think it's cool, but most of them are scared of me. LOU It's so stupid. JOANNA Honey, I can't argue that school isn't stupid… JOANNA …sometimes, but you're gonna find that a lot of things you have to… JOANNA …deal with in life are stupid. But we put up with them, for when the non-stupid parts come along. LOU When does that happen? JOANNA Well... JOANNA That's the hard part. You never know. JUDGE BATCHELLER Court is adjourned. RAYMOND Claire? CLAIRE Yes? RAYMOND I have something to tell you. CLAIRE What? RAYMOND Joanna's at home. She wishes you luck in the trial. CLAIRE Good. We got something we got to do. CLAIRE Thank you. MILES You're welcome. RAYMOND Thank you. MILES You're welcome. RAYMOND He's here. It's go-time. CLAIRE Okay. CLAIRE Sorry to bother you. Can we talk? DEMETRI Lady, I'm just doing my job. CLAIRE Me too. DEMETRI What do you want to know? DAVE You don’t think it went very well, do you? WINNIE I think it went well. DAVE I don’t think it went well. DAVE Where is Claire? WINNIE She's probably talking with the D.A. DAVE About what? She's telling him that she can't win, isn't she? DAVE She's sending me back to prison! WINNIE Don't go there. You're not in prison at this moment, are you? WINNIE Be here, now. JOANNA Why does everybody say that? JOANNA What if "here" isn't so great? I mean, Dave's "here" is being on trial… JOANNA …for burglary and facing life in prison. JOANNA Why on Earth would he want to be here? WINNIE Ms. Darrow, I don't think you're helping. JOANNA I'm just trying to tell it like it is. I mean, if it was me, I wouldn't be able to take it. JOANNA I know what it's like to be accused… JOANNA …of something you didn't do. It's worse than being accused of something you did do. JOANNA No, I'm telling you, I would be tempted… JOANNA …to make a run for it. WINNIE Ms. Darrow. DAVE Where could I run to? JOANNA Oh, running would not be… JOANNA …a good idea. You know, running doesn't solve anything. JOANNA I do not approve of running. JOANNA But still, I would... I would probably run. JOANNA Jump bail. JOANNA Not try to leave town for a while, lay low. JOANNA No, they'd have all the airports and highways staked out. No, I would… JOANNA …check into a cheap motel… JOANNA …near the bus station and just hide out. JOANNA What exactly did I walk in on? LOU Grandma's telling Dave how to run away. JOANNA If he was going to, which he's not. DAVE Yeah, I-I-I'm not. WINNIE You had to be here. CLAIRE I am here. CLAIRE Hi, Lou. How was school today? Was it better? LOU It was better. Kinda. CLAIRE It wasn't better, was it? I'm sorry. And Joanna, I'm... I'm sorry I was so short with you today. JOANNA Well, I totally understand. No, I mean, and my timing was really off, so... CLAIRE Well, I want you to know that we're okay. JOANNA Oh, well, thanks. JOANNA Oh, I'll-- I'll get it. CLAIRE No… CLAIRE …it's Lou's school. CLAIRE Hello? CLAIRE I see. CLAIRE I see. CLAIRE Uh, no, she's, um… CLAIRE …she's fine now. CLAIRE Thank you. JOANNA Did I mention that Lou ran off… JOANNA …from school, but… JOANNA …I took her back again, so everything's fine? CLAIRE And you were gonna to tell me this when? JOANNA Oh, never. We were hoping that you wouldn't find out. CLAIRE Why didn't you tell me, Lou? LOU Because... Grandma said what you didn't know wouldn't hurt you. CLAIRE Oh, she said that, did she? JOANNA I believe that is a direct quote from the Dalai Lama. CLAIRE Why did you run away from school? LOU I didn't want to be there. CLAIRE Why didn't I know about this? JOANNA Because… JOANNA …I didn't tell you. JOANNA And besides, I knew I could handle it. CLAIRE Lou is my daughter! Don't you think I should've made that decision? JOANNA Well, she's my granddaughter! JOANNA Listen, it's okay. I talked to the school. JOANNA I told them that she didn't feel well, so she came… JOANNA …home for a while, then I took her back-- CLAIRE Wait a minute. So you lied? JOANNA I made things right! CLAIRE By lying! That’s a… CLAIRE …great thing to teach Lou. LOU Stop fighting! CLAIRE We’re not… CLAIRE …fighting! We're just discussing! JOANNA Yeah, by fighting. CLAIRE Would you like to continue this in my room? JOANNA Fine with me. CLAIRE Great! DAVE They're like this... LOU All the time. CLAIRE Why didn't you tell me she ran away? JOANNA ‘Cause she didn't run away. She ran home. There's a difference. JOANNA And, besides, you were working. CLAIRE No, that's the problem with you. CLAIRE That's the problem with you as a mother. You… CLAIRE …always put work first. CLAIRE You always put making a living above everything else. CLAIRE Dad and I, we just came second. JOANNA Claire-- CLAIRE I'm not like that! CLAIRE I put my family first. You didn't go to that company to get equipment for Lou, did you? You went there as an excuse to help yourself. JOANNA That's what you really think? CLAIRE I think you're a bad influence on Lou. JOANNA A bad influence? CLAIRE Teaching her to buy people's affection… CLAIRE …by lying. JOANNA They aren't lie-- little white lies. CLAIRE Lies. CLAIRE Lies! I'm gonna have to ask you to move out. JOANNA Oh, I... is, um... is that how you put family first? CLAIRE I'm asking you to leave my house. JOANNA Fine. If that's the way you want it. JOANNA At least I won't have to live with those stupid curtains. DRESCHER I only know what I saw, Ms. Darrow. DRESCHER He used to stand across the street, just staring at the store. DRESCHER It gave me the creeps. CLAIRE And you're sure it was David Kellerin? DRESCHER It was him. DRESCHER Look… DRESCHER …I don't have anything at all against the guy, but it was definitely-- CLAIRE Is something wrong? CLAIRE Were you expecting somebody else? CLAIRE What's the matter? LOU I don't understand why you got so mad at Grandma. LOU She was just trying to help me. CLAIRE Was she? LOU Why don't you like Grandma? CLAIRE I love Grandma. LOU Maybe. LOU But you don't like her. CLAIRE You don't remember this, but… CLAIRE …when Grandpa died, Grandma shut down the firm. CLAIRE She gave up on Grandpa's dream because she wanted to make money. LOU Aren't you always telling me I should follow my dreams? CLAIRE That's right! LOU Well, maybe Grandma's dream was to make a lot of money. CLAIRE I never thought of it that way before. MILES And would you recognize… MILES …the man you saw driving away from the jewelry store… MILES …if you saw him again? GRIEG Without a doubt. MILES Is this man in the courtroom? GRIEG Yes, he is. MILES Point him out to us, please. GRIEG That man... GRIEG …there. MILE Let the… MILES …record show that the witness is pointing to the defendant… MILES …David Kellerin. MILES Thank you. No further questions, Your Honor. JUDGE BATCHELLER Your witness, Ms. Darrow. CLAIRE Thank you. Well, that was very impressive-- MILES Thank you. CLAIRE ...Mr. Grieg. You identified Mr. Kellerin… CLAIRE …quite confidently. GRIEG That's him. No doubt. CLAIRE And so what if I told you that Dave had a beard at… CLAIRE …the time of his arrest? You’d recall… CLAIRE …that, right? GRIEG Uh, yes. CLAIRE And yet, you identified… CLAIRE …him quite readily without the beard. GRIEG Well, it's his eyes. I remember his eyes. CLAIRE His eyes? Driving past you… CLAIRE …in a van at night… CLAIRE …you remember his eyes? GRIEG Yes. They were very intense. CLAIRE Mm. Thank you. CLAIRE Your Honor, I would like the record… CLAIRE …to state that Mr. Kellerin did not… CLAIRE …have a beard at the time of his arrest. MILES Objection! JUDGE BATCHELLER Sustained. CLAIRE Can't blame me for trying. RAYMOND Doesn't matter. You got him on the run. DAVE It's not going well. CLAIRE Please stop saying that. DAVE I know it's not going well. DAVE I mean, you're doing fine and you've got some good strategy, but… DAVE …let's face it, you have no case. DAVE I'm going back to prison. CLAIRE Don't give up. DAVE I can’t… DAVE …go back to prison. RAYMOND Okay, okay, okay. Dave, Dave. RAYMOND Dave, breathe, buddy. RAYMOND Come on, let's go grab something to eat. What do you say? Come on. Attaboy. MILES Hello, Counselor. CLAIRE Hm. MILES That was a pretty shrewd maneuver in there, with the eyewitness. CLAIRE Yeah, it was, wasn't it? MILES Yeah, it was. Look, let's talk. MILES It's not too late to plead guilty. I can still make you… MILES …a very good deal. CLAIRE Why would I do that? MILES Why? MILES Because of the evidence. Your guy… MILES …is guilty! Look, no alibi. MILES Has the watch, his van is covered in… MILES …fingerprints. CLAIRE He didn't do it. MILES He did do it. Look at the video! CLAIRE What? MILES Look at the video. CLAIRE Thank you. MILES What'd I say? ZOEY Do you want some coffee? CLAIRE No, I'll just have some coffee. RAYMOND You want coffee with that? CLAIRE Yeah. RAYMOND Claire... RAYMOND Claire? CLAIRE Hmm? RAYMOND Why don't you use that information? You know, from the motorcycle… RAYMOND …guy. CLAIRE We have to use it at just the right time. It's not enough… CLAIRE …by itself. RAYMOND Okay, it's your call. CLAIRE Scott, check the security video. SCOTT We've checked it. CLAIRE No. Not at the jewelry store, the doughnut shop. Check… CLAIRE …the security video at the doughnut shop. CLAIRE Two days-- three days before the burglary. SCOTT The doughnut shop… SCOTT …doesn't have a security camera. CLAIRE The fried chicken place next door has a camera out front. It might cover the front… CLAIRE …entrance. SCOTT All right, you got it, boss. CHESTER Oh! Sorry, Claire. CLAIRE What's wrong with Chester? RAYMOND Winnie... RAYMOND …and Scott… RAYMOND …have a date tonight. CLAIRE So? RAYMOND Don't you pay attention to anything that goes on around here? CLAIRE Oh, right. The soap opera. Why can't people pay attention to the… CLAIRE …case? RAYMOND Oh, they are. They're just multitasking. CLAIRE Well, I want them to single-task. Why can't they single-task? RAYMOND Winnie? WINNIE Yes? RAYMOND Can you come here for a second, please? RAYMOND I need you to work late tonight. I want you and Chester to go over some records… RAYMOND …for the trial. WINNIE Tonight? But I have plans. ZOEY Coffee? RAYMOND Sorry, it can't be helped. RAYMOND Tell Scott you'll give him a raincheck. WINNIE Okay. CLAIRE You still playing Cupid? RAYMOND I do what I can. RAYMOND Listen, um... there's something you should know. RAYMOND I knew Lou had run away from school yesterday. I didn't tell you either. CLAIRE What? Why not? RAYMOND You were in the zone. CLAIRE Is my zone that precious? CLAIRE Mm. CLAIRE I don't want coffee. RAYMOND Claire? RAYMOND What are you looking for, Claire? CLAIRE Where's Dave? RAYMOND Uh-oh. CLAIRE Dave! RAYMOND Dave! LOU What are you shouting for? RAYMOND Have you seen Dave? LOU No. RAYMOND Where's Joanna? LOU She's gone. She moved out. RAYMOND You’re… RAYMOND …here by yourself? LOU Ray, I’m 12. LOU I can handle a few hours at home. RAYMOND Right. CLAIRE Where did she go? LOU She was… LOU …gone when I got here. LOU She left this note. CLAIRE "Goodbye, and remember… CLAIRE …your safe place, Lou." RAYMOND I'll call the police. CLAIRE No, wait. Let me just think. CLAIRE Scott? Have you seen Dave? SCOTT No, sorry, but I have been going over the security footage for the doughnut shop. CLAIRE Oh. You didn't have to do that tonight. SCOTT Ah, well... SCOTT …my date with Winnie got postponed. Raymond gave her some busy work, so. CLAIRE Well, Raymond knows what he's doing. SCOTT Yeah. Anyways... SCOTT …I think I found something. Can I come over? CLAIRE Sure! WINNIE I don't know what we're supposed to be looking for. CHESTER Any precedent that can help Claire with the case. WINNIE That seems kind of vague. CHESTER Sometimes, vague is all you need. WINNIE Do you know what I like to do? CHESTER What? WINNIE I like to collect obscure and outdated laws. CHESTER You too? WINNIE Did you know, in Mississippi… WINNIE …it's illegal to have more than one… WINNIE …illegitimate child? CHESTER I did! CHESTER And did you know, in… CHESTER …Colorado, it's against… CHESTER …the law to mutilate rocks? WINNIE Do you want to know what my favorite is? WINNIE In Alaska… WINNIE …it's an offense to push a live moose out of an airplane. CHESTER I love weird laws! WINNIE Me too! CHESTER Do you want to have dinner sometime? WINNIE Sure. CHESTER I didn't think so. I'm sorry-- Did you say yes? WINNIE I said "yes." WINNIE And Chester? CHESTER Yeah? WINNIE Could I borrow a pen? CLAIRE Lou! Don't forget to brush your teeth, please. LOU I won't! CLAIRE Okay, what do you got? SCOTT Look at this. CLAIRE That's it! SCOTT It sure is. RAYMOND Attaboy… RAYMOND …Scott! CLAIRE Okay, now we just have to find Dave. LOU Where are we going? CLAIRE Never mind. Go to sleep. LOU Sleep better in my bed. CLAIRE Wait here. Never mind. Come with me. JOANNA Well, you took long enough. JOANNA What are you doing up, sporty? LOU I don't know. Mom brought me. CLAIRE I couldn't leave her at home alone. JOANNA Why not? She's 12! LOU I told you, Mom. CLAIRE Where is he? JOANNA He's in the room next door. CLAIRE Why'd he call you? JOANNA Well, didn't you get my note? I'm his "safe place." CLAIRE Oh, is that what that meant? JOANNA His grandma was… JOANNA …his real safe place, and I guess that I'm the only grandmother available. CLAIRE It's not really the same, is it? JOANNA No. I don't even like doughnuts. CLAIRE All right, wait here, okay? LOU Whatever you say, Mom. JOANNA Hey, Claire? Uh... are we okay? CLAIRE Really? JOANNA Well, I found him! Doesn't that… JOANNA …count for something? CLAIRE You should've told me about Lou running away. JOANNA Oh, are we still on this? CLAIRE And that thing… CLAIRE …with the equipment... I mean, if she hadn't kept where she got it a secret, it wouldn't have been a problem. JOANNA Okay… JOANNA …I was thinking the same thing. JOANNA No, I think that we should always… JOANNA …be open with each other about everything. CLAIRE You were the one who told her to keep it a secret! JOANNA I may… JOANNA …have implied that it would be good for her to wait. CLAIRE Joanna... CLAIRE …admit it. You used Lou's problem at school to get me to take that stupid case. JOANNA No! JOANNA Well... all right. You know the phrase "kill two birds with one stone?” CLAIRE Joanna, Lou is your granddaughter, she's not a bird. JOANNA Okay. Look. I... I realize that I wasn't a perfect mother to you. JOANNA I just... JOANNA ...never understood you. And I still don't understand you. I mean, I don't know why you have this obsession to always… JOANNA …do good. CLAIRE I don't either. JOANNA And maybe I... JOANNA I really haven't been a good grandmother to Lou, either. You know, I thought I was, but... JOANNA All I know is that I did what I did for Lou… JOANNA …and maybe I did it a little bit for myself, too. I don't know. I guess that's, uh... that's just who I am. CLAIRE That must've been really hard for you to say. JOANNA You bet it was. CLAIRE I guess we're sort of okay. JOANNA Thank you. Thank you. CLAIRE I gotta go and get Dave. JOANNA Right. DAVE Hi. CLAIRE Hi, Dave. CLAIRE Guess what? It's going well. DAVE It's too late. CLAIRE It's never too late. DRESCHER He would stand across the street from… DRESCHER …the store every day. He never came in, and I couldn't understand it. Now I know. MILES Now we know. Thank you. No further questions. CLAIRE So Mr. Kellerin never came into the store? Is that right? DRESCHER Not to my knowledge. CLAIRE And we've checked the security video for the entire… CLAIRE …month leading up to the burglary. He never came into your store, not once. DRESCHER That's right. CLAIRE And that watch that was found in Mr. Kellerin's… CLAIRE …backpack-- you're sure that... CLAIRE …that watch was among the jewelry that was stolen? DRESCHER Oh, yes, I'm sure. CLAIRE Do you know Dave Kellerin? DRESCHER I've bought doughnuts… DRESCHER …from his shop. I-I don't know him. CLAIRE You didn't know he was on parole? DRESCHER I had heard rumors. I thought it was nice that the guy was getting another chance. CLAIRE Aw. That's kind of you. CLAIRE Your Honor, I would like to show the security video, if I may. MILES Uh, objection, Your Honor. This is a waste of the court's time. We've already seen the video. JUDGE BATCHELLER We have seen the video, Ms. Darrow. CLAIRE Not the jewelry store… CLAIRE …security video. I'm talking about the video from the fried chicken place, next door. MILES Objection. "The video from the fried chicken place next door"-- MILES …nondisclosure, Your Honor. JUDGE BATCHELLER How 'bout that, Miss Darrow? CLAIRE I apologize, but this has… CLAIRE …just now come to my attention, and I… CLAIRE …do believe it has great bearing on the case. MILES Your Honor... JUDGE BATCHELLER All right. I'm going to allow it. Proceed. CLAIRE Thank you, Your Honor. CLAIRE Now, you will see… CLAIRE …from the time stamp, that this takes place… CLAIRE …two days before the burglary. CLAIRE What is that you're putting… CLAIRE …into Mr. Kellerin's… CLAIRE …backpack, Mr. Drescher? DRESCHER Um... I... CLAIRE It looks kind of like a watch. CLAIRE Hmm! DRESCHER I-I can't really tell. CLAIRE Oh, let me enlarge it for you. CLAIRE Wow! CLAIRE Not only is that… CLAIRE …a watch... CLAIRE …that… CLAIRE …appears to be the watch like this… CLAIRE …watch that was found in Mr…. CLAIRE …Kellerin's backpack. Exactly like… CLAIRE …the watch that was supposedly… CLAIRE …stolen from your… CLAIRE …store two days later. CLAIRE Huh! DRESCHER I refuse to answer on… DRESCHER …the grounds that it may incriminate me. CLAIRE I didn't ask you a question, Mr. Drescher. DRESCHER I still refuse to answer. CLAIRE Mr. Drescher... CLAIRE …is it true that you've run up a serious gambling… CLAIRE …debt with the Russian mob? DRESCHER The what? CLAIRE You know, the Russian Mob. The… CLAIRE …Red Mafia, the… CLAIRE …Bratva. DRESCHER I'm not familiar w-- CLAIRE But you do have gambling debts? CLAIRE Otherwise, why would Demetri… CLAIRE …Berezin drive his motorcycle past your store… CLAIRE …three times a day for a month? DRESCHER I, uh... DRESCHER Aren't you going to object? MILES Me--? Yes! Objection... Your Honor. JUDGE BATCHELLER I'd like to see where this is going. MILES So would I. Proceed. CLAIRE In fact... CLAIRE …we have Demetri right here. He can tell us, if you won't. DRESCHER Uh... I... did rake up a few… DRESCHER …gambling debts. CLAIRE Yeah. How much? DRESCHER 100... DRESCHER ...thousand dollars. CLAIRE That's quite a few. DRESCHER Yes, and... Demetri took to strafing my… DRESCHER …store... as a reminder. CLAIRE A reminder, or a threat? DRESCHER Well, that is another way of putting it. CLAIRE Didn't he say he was gonna break your legs if you didn't pay your debt? DRESCHER I-I think he was just being colorful. MILES Hm. CLAIRE Well, did you have the money, Mr. Drescher? DRESCHER I did not. CLAIRE Did you think of a way to get the money? DRESCHER I refuse to... DRESCHER You know. CLAIRE I do know. You decided… CLAIRE …to rob your own store and collect the insurance money. CLAIRE Then you could pay everything back, and why not? CLAIRE Insurance fraud is a victimless crime. CLAIRE But you know what isn't? CLAIRE Framing an innocent man… CLAIRE …and sending him to prison. DRESCHER But he's an ex-con. DRESCHER So he didn't do this. So what? CLAIRE And who did do this, Mr. Drescher? DRESCHER I, uh... I refuse... to answer. CLAIRE No further questions, Your Honor. JUDGE BATCHELLER The witness may step down. CLAIRE Permission to approach, Your Honor? MILES Mm-hmm. JUDGE BATCHELLER Granted. CLAIRE Your Honor, it's clear. CLAIRE Drescher wanted to collect on the insurance, but he needed a fall guy. He knew my client was a convicted felon… CLAIRE …so he planted the watch, stole his van, and did a smash-and-grab of his own store. MILES Your Honor, the State moves to drop the case against David Kellerin. CLAIRE The defense agrees. MILES What? JUDGE BATCHELLER You don't have to. CLAIRE I know. I agree anyway. JUDGE BATCHELLER Case is dismissed! DAVE So I'm free? CLAIRE You're free! DAVE Thank you. DAVE I still have no idea how you did it. CLAIRE I told the truth. DAVE If only more people would do that... DAVE Oh! CLAIRE Time to make the doughnuts! MILES Well, well, well. MILES Congrats, Counselor. You did a good job in there. CLAIRE Thank you. MILES You're welcome. CLAIRE You seem oddly… CLAIRE …happy for someone who just lost. MILES Oh, well… MILES …why wouldn't I be happy? Justice prevailed. Justice is good. I like justice. CLAIRE Good to know. MILES Yeah. Yeah, it is. MILES Anyway. Look, next time… MILES …I'm gonna crush you like a bug. Professionally, of course. CLAIRE Good luck with that. MILES Yeah. MILES Yeah. CLAIRE Hey, Miles! MILES Hmm? CLAIRE You know what I just realized? MILES What? CLAIRE It's the third Friday of the month. You know what that means? MILES No... CLAIRE It means… CLAIRE …it's time for me to ask you out. MILES Really? CLAIRE Mm-hmm. MILES Does it? CLAIRE Yeah. MILES I think I like the third Friday of the month. CLAIRE Yeah. Me too. MILES Yeah. CLAIRE Come on, come on, come on… CLAIRE …come on, come on. JOANNA That’s my granddaughter. She’s brilliant! CLAIRE Your dad would've been proud of you. And your robot. LOU You think? CLAIRE Yeah, I'm sure. LOU Grandma! Did you hear? My robot won! JOANNA I know. CLAIRE What? You were there? JOANNA Yep. CLAIRE Why didn't you say hi? JOANNA Well, I didn't want to interrupt Lou. She was in the zone. LOU So are you moving back in? JOANNA I think maybe you and your mom need your own space. CLAIRE Joanna, move back in with us. JOANNA Really? CLAIRE Really! We're a family. It's time we started acting like it, Mom. CLAIRE Besides, we have cases to discuss. JOANNA Cases? CLAIRE Mm-hmm. CLAIRE Yeah, like the Dylbrooke case. I don't understand that one at all. JOANNA Wait. You're gonna take that case? CLAIRE I'm gonna take that case. JOANNA W-why? CLAIRE Because you're right! We need to make… CLAIRE …some money. We just spent a month defending a guy who runs a doughnut shop. JOANNA Thank you. CLAIRE But you're handling it. JOANNA So you're making me a partner? CLAIRE Not so fast. "Consulting attorney." JOANNA To start with? CLAIRE We'll see how it goes. JOANNA Okay. JOANNA All right, but, you know, I am gonna want to make some changes. CLAIRE And I will hear your suggestions. JOANNA You know, like those curtains, for instance. CLAIRE The curtains stay. JOANNA Yeah? We'll see. JOANNA Mm! CLAIRE It's good, isn't it? CLAIRE Mm, good. LOU Get your own.
