   Absolutely. Your first case.
   Awesome. What is it?
   Pro bono. Sexual harassment.
   Don’t tell anyone I laid it off on you and don’t screw it up.
   Got it. You can’t handle it. I’ll knock it out of the park.
   Nancy?
   Mike?
   Yeah, hi.
   You’re a kid.
   No. I’m a… I’m a grown man.
   You’re so skinny. Do they feed you? (LAUGHS) Here, have a grape.
   Thank you. Why don’t you tell me your story?
   It started two years ago. I was a stay-at-home mom to my son, Freddie. And one day, we were at Little League, Freddie was five. He really hated that he couldn’t play with the older kids. It was the third inning, and I got a phone call. My husband had been in a car accident and he was gone. Just like that.
   I… I’m so sorry.
   I did the best I could. I got myself a job as a secretary at Devlin McGreggor and I even got promoted to secretary of the President, Charles Hunt. And that’s when it all changed.
   It’s okay. Tell me what happened.
   He started asking me to stay late, order in dinner, see, other stuff like that. One night, he says that if I sleep with him, he’s going to take care of me in the firm. And if I don’t, he’s going to fire me.
   So, what did you do? I went to human resources. They said they investigated. Couldn’t find anything to support my claim. Two months later, I was fired for poor job performance. They wouldn’t let me say goodbye to anybody. They wouldn’t write me a letter of recommendation. I wasn’t looking for a payoff. All I wanted was for it to stop. Can you help me?
   Uh, yes. Yes, I can.
   What do you need my help for?
   – Wait. Can I just…
   – No. Give me an update.
   Uh, you know, she’s a nice woman. – She, uh…
   – On the case. I don’t get emotionally attached to the clients.
   This woman had her life ripped apart. You don’t even care?
   I’m not about caring. I’m about winning.
   Why can’t you be about both?
   I’d explain it to you but then I’d have to care about you.
   Right.
   What are you doing? Don’t touch that.
   I’m just checking my lock.
   You ride your bike to… It’s locked, okay? Come on.
   Taxi!
   Defense sent over the investigation files as a courtesy.
   No, they didn’t. Nobody does anything as a courtesy. They sent those files because that’s where they want you to look. Listen, being a lawyer is like being a doctor.
   You mean how you don’t get emotional about the client?
   No. I mean, you keep pressing until it hurts, then you know where to look. Forget about impeaching the investigation. It won’t lead anywhere. No employee is going to testify against their own CEO.
   Okay. So, what do you suggest I do?
   Think. If this guy’s done this once…
   MIKE: He’s done it before.
   And if the people who work for him now won’t testify against him…
   Someone who used to work for him might.
   You know what? I’d subpoena the personnel records of every woman who’s left the firm during this guy’s tenure.
   That’s funny. That’s exactly what I thought.
   Then what do you need my help for?
   I don’t know how to fill out a subpoena.
   By the way, did you get her to sign the engagement letter?
   Yeah. What’s an engagement letter? It’s a piece of paper that keeps her from being able to sue us.
   Oh. Uh, hey. Donna, can you show me how to fill out a subpoena?
   Absolutely. And after that, you want me to show you how to wipe your ass?
   It’s funny, because you should already know how to do both those things.
   Ah, yeah. That’s hilarious.
