Maggie, you know what I used to be afraid of Maggie?

Yeah, me.
Mick Haller
That I wouldn't recognize innocence. That it would be right there in front of me and I just wouldn't see it.
Maggie McPherson
Yeah...
Mick Haller
I'm not talking about guilty or not guilty; just, just innocence. Know what I'm afraid of now?

[Mick, armed with a baseball bat, discovers Louis has broken into his house]
Louis Roulet
[sitting casually in Mick's home office]
If you're wondering how I got in, I'm in real estate, so if I want to get into a friend's house...
Mick Haller
No, we're not friends. You're my client. And I'm your lawyer.
Louis Roulet
My lawyer. See, that's exactly what I wanted to remind you of. I'm about to go on trial, and yet I couldn't reach you. Now I find out where you were all day. Heard you tell Maggie.
Mick Haller
You shit.
Louis Roulet
You went to see Jesus Martinez. And I know what you talked about: Donna Renteria. You're right, Mick. I killed her. There. No reason I shouldn't tell my own lawyer since it's all confidential. Attorney-client privilege. Isn't that what you told me?
Mick Haller
It's time for you to go, Louis.
Louis Roulet
Alright.
[He sits up, finishes his drink, and stands up. He notices a framed picture of Mick & his daughter Hayley on Mick's desk]
Louis Roulet
[walks out into the living room]
That's a cute picture of your daughter Hayley. She's very pretty. She's got soccer practice tomorrow, right?
Mick Haller
[gets in Louis' face]
You think you're the first client to threaten me and my family? Huh?
Louis Roulet
All I said was she's pretty.
Mick Haller
Are you scared, Louis? Because where you are right now, you're in a very dangerous place.
[He opens the front door and Louis leaves]

Frank Levin
Jesus, Mick, are you starting to think Louis is innocent?
Mick Haller
He just might. Besides, you know, my father always said about an innocent client.
Frank Levin
No, I've never heard this. Hi...
Maggie McPherson
He said 'there's no client as scary as an innocent man'.
Mick Haller
That's right. 'Cos if you screw up and he goes to prison... You're never gonna be able to live with yourself.

Mick Haller
[sitting on Maggie's front porch as Louis approaches him]
Hello, Louis. My family's here.
Louis Roulet
I know.
Mick Haller
You bring your knife? My gun?
Louis Roulet
Maybe.
Mick Haller
Good.
[pulls his new gun out of his coat pocket]
Mick Haller
'Cause I brought this. You've got one chance to turn around and leave.
Louis Roulet
[stepping closer]
And then what? You gonna keep coming back every night? Every day? Or just try to get me sent up to San Quentin like Jesus Martinez?
Mick Haller
No. I'm not quitting until Martinez is free and you're convicted of murder. And when that needle goes in your arm, that will be me.
[nods]
Louis Roulet
[as a commuter train passes by in the background]
Well, why don't you just shoot me right now?

I don't think I'll have to.

It's Louis' car, man!
[the bikers continue vandalizing Louis' car as Mick gets up and walks to the street]
Biker
Come on, now. Get him up. Get up!
[another biker grabs Louis and drags him out into the middle of the street]

Hospital, not the morgue.
[Eddie gives Mick a two-finger salute as his posse beats up Louis and Mick walks away]
