Season 1 Episode 10 Chaos

The season finale is over, old faces and new faces are back! Your beloved prosecutor Colin, little assistant Marissa, heroic husband Kurt, and of course Felix Staples, the protagonist of episode 6...

Dylan Stack (S03E13 & S04E20), the well-known "Bitcoin" Mr. Stack (S03E13 & S04E20) from the mother drama "The Good Wife", also returns in this episode. Ironically, Mr. Stack, the Bitcoin inventor, doesn't like virtual money like checks. So every time you show up, you're throwing around bundles of cash! Moreover, he always hides his identity, plays with lawyers, and uses lawyers to help him achieve other purposes than lawsuits, but this time he accidentally took it off.

Mr. "Bitcoin" found Diane and said that he was framed by cyber terrorism (Cyber ​​terrorism), and malicious software appeared in the computer inexplicably, similar to Grizzly Steppe▼

Grizzly Steppe

Grizzly Prairie is a highly sophisticated, offensive cyber intrusion by Russia against the U.S. government and its citizens. The U.S. government dubbed the operation "Grizzly Steppe."

The US FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) and DHS (Department of Homeland Security) jointly released a report titled " GRIZZLY STEPPE - Russian Malicious Cyber ​​Activity " on December 29 last year , revealing that These cyber activities include snooping on U.S. government agencies, critical infrastructure, think tanks, universities, political groups, and businesses, and, of course, meddling in the U.S. election.

At the time, President Obama also signed an executive order expelling 35 Russian diplomats suspected of being spies and authorizing economic sanctions against various Russian government civilian and military intelligence agencies. The Russian foreign minister wanted Putin to kick out American diplomats too, but Putin refused. Later, Trump also praised Putin on Twitter: Really smart ▼

Within days of that report, public utilities in Vermont discovered the code for Grizzly Prairie in their systems. So Marissa says Grizzly Steppe is a grid hacker in Vermont.

Lucca went to the Ministry of Justice on behalf of the law firm to negotiate criminal immunity for Mr. "Bitcoin". The Ministry of Justice inserted the USB flash drive she brought into the computer and found that the malware was running automatically, so the boss of the Ministry of Justice personally brought someone to the law firm to bring Lucca to the law firm. Take away as a material witness▼

Material Witness

important witness . Usually, the witnesses we understand are mostly witnesses or insiders of the incident. Generally, when TA is required to testify, they can go to court. However, Lucca was suddenly arrested and controlled. It can be seen that the material witness is unusual.

Literally, a material witness is someone who has key information about the facts of a crime. The government can obtain arrest warrants for material witnesses from judicial officials, as long as it can be shown that (1) the person has important criminal information; and (2) it is not feasible to subpoena the person to testify. Therefore, witnesses can be controlled first through this coercive method.

After 9/11, the U.S. government began to implement a more aggressive arrest policy, including material witnesses. Many times, a material witness can almost be considered a suspect in a criminal investigation, although it may not be the main suspect. Usually, if the law enforcement agency suspects that a person is involved in a crime and is likely to escape, but there is no evidence in hand to immediately charge the TA, then using material witness to control the person is a justifiable reason. It is very convenient. In fact, there are cases where people are arrested first with material witnesses, and finally successfully prosecuted and convicted.

Maia knew that the reason the DOJ arrested Lucca was to know Mr. Bitcoin's identity through her, which was a complete violation of Attorney-Client Privilege, so Barbara went to court to apply for a restraining order to release Lucca ▼

Attorney-Client Privilege said in the first episode's guide to watching the show, what are you waiting for for the forgotten classmates, hurry up and check it out!

Restraining Order

restraining order . This order is generally issued to protect people who are subject to domestic violence, harassment, stalking, sexual harassment, etc.

As long as one party can convince the judge of the need for the injunction, the judge can issue Temporary restraining orders immediately without notifying the other party and without holding a hearing. But at the same time, the law also requires the judge to hold a hearing within about 10 days of signing the temporary restraining order, so as to further judge whether to sign the formal restraining order. The time for the formal restraining order can be longer or shorter.

Breaching the Restraining Order is serious and will result in criminal charges.

The big boss originally wanted to say that my Dincon came out in person because it was related to cyber terrorism, which was quite serious! Barbara immediately retorted, you have been detaining people, which violates the Sixth Amendment ▼

The Sixth Amendment

The Sixth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution is one of the "Bill of Rights" that protects the rights of defendants in litigation. We have previously introduced the First and Second Amendments, both of which were ratified and entered into force on December 15, 1791.

The Sixth Amendment reads: In all criminal proceedings, the accused shall have the right to a speedy and public trial by an impartial jury in the state and territory in which the crime was committed, such territory as previously determined by law; to be informed of the nature of the charge and reasons; confronting plaintiff witnesses; obtaining witnesses in his favour by coercive proceedings; and obtaining counsel to help him defend him.

What Barbara means here is that you have arrested people and held them all the time, without trial or judgment, don't you just want her to reveal the identity of the client, this is illegal! So the judge immediately issued a temporary restraining order.

Although the restraining order was granted, the Justice Department immediately reversed course and charged Lucca with being an accomplice in the cyber terrorism. In order to rescue Lucca, the law firm found the proponent of the blackout through Mr. "Bitcoin", and found that it was Felix Staples, who had dealt with before, and used Felix to lead out the mastermind of the hacker - Mr. "Bitcoin"! That's right, dig a hole and jump by yourself! It turned out that Mr. "Bitcoin" planned all this with the "great" idea of ​​leading change. Felix asked in shock: Are you Bernie Bro? ▼

Bernie Bro

In the eighth guide, I mentioned Bernie Sanders, the grandfather who lost to Hillary Clinton in the Democratic nomination last year in the US election. BernieBro is a type of Bernie Sanders supporters. When the word first appeared in the media, it referred to a relatively narrow group of people. It was only a part of Sanders supporters. The main features were: white, male , is often used in various online forums to make remarks that discriminate against women and demean Hillary supporters.

But in the play, BernieBro should have an expanded meaning, generally referring to its supporters. Because Bernie Sanders' campaign slogan at the time was: A political revolution is coming. His position and proposition were reforms on Wall Street, campaign fundraising, health care, education, etc. So when Mr. "Bitcoin" said that he wanted to change , it naturally made people think of Bernie Bro.

Maia suffered for a whole season, was attacked by scandals, lost her job, was used by her father to steal lists, gave perjury to protect her... Finally! In the last episode of the court debate scene, the status went online, showing what a lawyer should look like, which is really pleasing!

But her father is really a pit. She only thinks about herself. She is acting until the last second of meeting her daughter, and she can run away with peace of mind in a blink of an eye. Maia also foolishly ran to him to support him Give up and continue fighting... Maia, who was just entering the workplace, was put together by her own father like this. I have to say that American TV shows always expose the most cruel side of life to us, which completely echoes the sentence on the poster of this play: Get Nasty !

Fortunately, there are also warmth and laughter in our drama, Diane and her husband Kurt love each other deeply, Lucca and Maia support each other, Diane and Adrian are partners, and there is always a surprise assistant Marissa, Hong Hair lawyer Tascioni...

A drama, two months, time flies too fast! And such a wonderful drama has only ten episodes, it is not addicting at all! The writer of the last episode left us with so much suspense, where will Lucca and Colin's relationship go? What does Barbara eavesdrop on Diane and Adrian talking outside the door? What will be the fate of Maia? How will the Ponzi scheme develop? ...

I just hope that Maia won't stay in jail for more than half a year, otherwise Jon Snow, oh no, Amy will be sad!

Let's wait and see for the second season of 2018!

Finally, thank you for your continued attention and support to this series of watch guides!
