[Chuck and Howard visit the courtroom where Jimmy's hearing will be held]
How are you feeling, Chuck?
I'll muddle through.
Because this is a lot to ask, and if you're not up to it, just throwing this out there: Maybe you don't need to testify at all.
No, I do. I'm the only person who can adequately explain the context of that tape, otherwise the defense will tear it to shreds.
It's already a solid case. We have Jimmy's statement from the Pre-Prosecution Diversion, there's my testimony and the private eye's... maybe there's no need to put you through the wringer like this.
…This isn't about me, or my health. This is about PR.
We lost a client. That happened because while you were... incapacitated, your brother accessed documents that should have been secured at HHM. What Jimmy did is unconscionable, yes, but one of my jobs is to safeguard the firm's reputation.
This is not the time to worry about how we look! This is about what's right and what's wrong. I'm not going to risk Jimmy getting- what, a year of suspension, maybe two? He deserves disbarment, not some slap on the wrist. No, Howard. There's only one way forward. "Let justice be done, though the heavens fall."
