By Jacob Clifton | Season 5 | Episode 12 | Aired on 01.12.2014
She locks eyes with Will, for just one moment, and a bridge begrudgingly begins to put itself out, and rebuild of its own accord: Remember who the enemy is. Or just make one up, if you have to.
JURY'S BACK
The couple is stressssed waiting for the juries to return, from their separate deliberations. The Lady one -- LG's client -- gets off. But the Man one asks for another shot at testimony from two of the witnesses, into which F/A doesn't want to read anything even as they're explaining it in what they hope is a comforting manner.
MARILYN
Will: "I wasn't the campaign's lawyer, I was on the team."
Marilyn: "The team that tried to invalidate a ballot box in case it was compromised?"
Will: "Yeah."
Marilyn: "Did you ever get wind of a video suggesting this was Florrick operatives?"
Will: "Hmm? What?"
Marilyn: "Did you ever get wind of a video suggesting this was Florrick operatives?"
Will: "Oh, um. What is this? What are we doing exactly?"
Marilyn: "I'm investigating Ethical stuff?"
Will: "Not the same thing as a grand jury, for example..."
Marilyn: "Did Eli not instruct you to cooperate?"
Will: "Fine, yes. I knew about the video."
Marilyn: "And you didn't tell the Governor?"
Will: "...No?"
Marilyn: "No you didn't?"
Will: "No, I can't answer. Attorney/client privilege, sorry."
Marilyn: "That's cool, no problem. Hey, would you mind getting your ass out of that chair and coming down the hallway with me for a second? Just like take a quick stroll."
Same hallway, to the same office, with the same desperate desire to hope for the best. It goes on for the same forever, too, Bruce Springsteen singing about it the entire way.
GOV OFC
Marilyn: "Peter, could you waive privilege so this motherfucker will answer my questions?"
Peter: "What would be the scope of that waiver?"
Marilyn: "See, already you're pissing me off. The scope would be whatever is involved in my inquiry."
Peter: "That was so Wendy Scott-Carr, when you said that! Oh my God, how freaky!"
Marilyn: "Peter."
Peter: "Can I talk to my old lawyer for just like one second?"
Marilyn: "Please don't do this to me."
