"Bang" is the fifteenth episode of the first season of the American legal drama television series ''The Good Wife''. It originally aired on CBS in the United States on March 2, 2010. In the episode, ex States Attorney Peter Florrick (Chris Noth) is released from prison to his home. He is confined by house arrest and starts working on restarting his legal career. His wife Alicia Florrick (Julianna Margulies) has conflicted emotions about his return and distracts herself with a legal case, in which she defends a man of killing a mutual fund manager who assisted in Bernard Madoff's investment scandal. The episode was written by co-producer and staff writer Courtney Kemp Agboh and directed by Rod Holcomb. "Bang" included guest appearances by actors Alan Cumming and Gary Cole. Cole plays a forensics expert with a country persona and a strong set of ethics, while Cumming plays a cutthroat political operative several commentators said closely resembled White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel. The opening scene of "Bang", in which Peter returns home to his family, was planned to be the final scene of the series if the first season was unsuccessful and additional episodes were not ordered. "Bang" received generally positive reviews, with several critics complimenting the ensemble performances, as well as Cole and actress Christine Baranski. According to Nielsen Media Research, the episode was seen by 13.3 million viewers, a 13 percent drop from the previous episode. It was the 15th most watched television program the week it first aired. ==Plot== Ex-State's Attorney Peter Florrick (Chris Noth) returns home to an emotional reunion with his children, Zach (Graham Phillips) and Grace (Makenzie Vega), while his wife Alicia (Julianna Margulies) looks on. Peter had been imprisoned for several months after being convicted of charges of corruption. He is allowed to return home under house arrest while his appeal is considered. Peter must wear an ankle monitor and cannot leave the apartment or communicate with the outside world. Alicia is uncomfortable about Peter's return because of his infidelity, which was exposed at the time of his conviction. Zach shows Peter incriminating photos he had been hiding from Alicia, which are doctored to show Peter being unfaithful. Zach intercepted the photos when they were anonymously delivered to the Florrick residence. Zach also shows Peter a photo he secretly took of a man bugging the Florrick apartment entranceway. Peter hires hardened and blunt political operative Eli Gold (Alan Cumming) to assist in the appeal. Gold recognizes the man as a federal investigator and informs Peter he is under investigation by the FBI. Peter reveals to Alicia that Zach hid the photos from her to spare her feelings. Because of Peter's imprisonment Alicia, a lawyer herself, is working as a junior associate at a law firm.〔 Alicia serves as second chair for senior partner Diane Lockhart (Christine Baranski) in a murder trial. Their client, Brad Broussard (Tom Degnan), is charged with shooting Miles Wagner. Wagner was an unpopular mutual fund manager who defrauded Broussard and many other out of their life savings by assisting in Bernard Madoff's investment scandal. Broussard was found covered in blood next to Wagner's body, but insists on his innocence. Diane consults ballistics expert Kurt McVeigh (Gary Cole), a mustachioed country man with a strict principle that he will not work if the client is guilty. Kurt testifies that Wagner was shot inside a car despite being found on the floor. Wagner's partner, Martin Knox (Kevin O'Rourke), had a strong financial motive to kill Wagner. Knox's wife, Rachel (Geraldine Hughes), strongly dislikes her husband and is willing to implicate him, but is bound by spousal privilege laws. Alicia discovers a conspiracy tactic that will allow Rachel to testify, and Broussard is vindicated and set free. The firm's investigator Kalinda Sharma (Archie Panjabi) visits FBI agent Lana Delaney (Jill Flint) inquiring about the investigation into Peter. Delaney asks Kalinda to feed her information about Peter, but Kalinda declines. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bang (The Good Wife)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
