Ringer s01e03 Episode Script

My name is Bridget.
I witnessed a murder.
Just get up on the stand and tell the judge what you saw.
- We'll protect you.
- You don't get it.
If Bodaway wants me dead, I'm dead.
I ran to my sister Siobhan for help.
Siobhan killed herself and I assumed her identity.
It was so easy.
I saw a way out and I took it.
They all think that I'm her.
Her husband.
- Her lover.
- Make a choice, him or me.
Her best friend.
- Let me help you.
- The only person I can trust.
I thought I'd be safe, it turns out I was wrong.
You have the wrong girl! There's a lot about Siobhan's life I don't know.
We have a problem.
Bridget is sill alive.
Didn't think I'll ever see you up so early.
I couldn't sleep.
Morning sickness? Not too pretty, is it? - Did Juliet make her flight? - Yes, she did.
You think it's a good idea, sending her to Miami? If I didn't think it was a good idea, I wouldn't have suggested it.
Sometimes A girl just needs her mom.
I can't believe Catherine went for it, but she did.
Just hope it helps.
I made you some coffee.
Is that so weird? No.
I'll take it with me to work.
And by the way, I need you to do something for me.
What? It's a surprise.
I'll leave the address in the foyer.
Just be there at 11:00.
Did I wake you? I had an early morning class I had to prepare for.
I got your message.
- Staying in New York isn't a good idea.
- Neither is running.
Bodaway wants me dead.
Trust me, it is safer as Siobhan.
If I can figure out who's trying to kill her.
I thought you killed him.
I think he was a gun for hire.
- Someone else is behind this.
- All right, then.
What are you doing to find out who's after her? I have the hit man's cell phone.
Thinking maybe I could trace it back to them.
- Did you check the caller ID? - No texts, no call history, no pictures, nothing.
Try prying the back off.
Maybe there's a serial number.
Wait.
Hold on.
Did you find something? Oh, my God - Are you there? - Give me a sec, I found something.
Andrew's behind this? U-Sub.
net & Ringer Team present Ringer 1x03: If you ever want a French Lesson I'm not sure, but, I think Siobhan's husband might be behind the hit.
Why do you think that? He has the same picture on his shelf that was in the hit man's pocket, but he was cropped out of it, like somebody was trying to protect his identity.
That doesn't exactly make him a killer.
I know it's a stretch but Siobhan killed herself for a reason, okay? I know that she and Andrew were having problems.
If he's behind this, I kind of need to know.
Listen to me Don't just spin theories, get proof.
Figure out if there's a connection - between the phone and Andrew.
- I will.
And Bridge? Keep safe while doing it.
If someone's after your sister Siobhan, then they're after you.
I will.
Hey man, you got the time? I told you I haven't talked to Bridget Kelly.
Agent Machado, couldn't get the warrant.
Come on, what's with this judge? No probable cause for the release of her phone records.
Too far removed from Bodaway Macawi.
Is he kidding? Siobhan Martin is the key witness's twin sister.
- What more does he need? - He didn't bother to say.
No, of course not.
Okay, well, find another judge.
And when we get the same answer, then what? Then we keep looking till we find someone who gets it.
How long you plan on being in town? As long as it takes for Siobhan to lead me to Bridget.
You don't even have any proof Kelly's still in New York.
Wouldn't it be easier to find another way to get Macawi? We've been after Macawi for ten years.
He's been involved in armed robbery, drug and weapons trafficking, prostitution, racketeering, and at least nine murders.
And, so far, nothing has stuck, okay? No Rico, no nothing.
Fifteen lieutenants have been convicted.
Not one has turned against him because everyone around is scared.
Bridget Kelly was one day away from changing all of that.
And then she ran.
Odds are, right to her sister.
I believe Siobhan Martin is harboring a fugitive, and the more I find out about her, the closer I get to Bridget.
And when I do find Bridget Kelly, I'll put Macawi away.
Tell me everything you can about that phone.
It's disposable.
Goes for about 30 bucks at a convenience store.
When the minutes run out, you throw it away.
Can you tell me if that phone ever called this number? I think my husband may be seeing someone.
We've been married a long time.
There is something like a SIM card inside, like in regular cell phones, but It requires a pretty high-tech unlocking device, and we don't sell 'em.
The only people who have access to that sort of intel are the cops, FBI some high-level drug dealers.
The whole point of theses is, the people who own 'em don't wanna be found out.
Thanks.
I need a pick-me-up.
Is there any chance I could get a schizi-tini? A schizi-tini? You haven't heard of it? It's pretty popular in the States.
Okay It's got a energy drink, five schizi, and I don't know, maybe something else.
I'm sorry monsieur Ballard, but my English is not very good.
Bien sûr.
I think.
What am I getting? The closest thing to a schizi-tini Vodka cranberry and a cup of coffee.
That sounds disgusting.
- I will just have the coffee, thanks.
- D'accord.
So you don't speak any French? I moved here a month ago.
I'm Tyler Barrett.
Nice to meet you.
Merci.
It's sad, actually.
I work a lot, so I haven't gotten a chance to see much of the country.
So what is it that you do? International banking.
Which is also why I haven't learned French.
My business is done in English.
So you fly around on a gulfstream jet and deliver briefcases of money to Saudi princes? Not exactly.
I work for Banque Trésonne.
It's a subsidiary of an American firm Martin-Charles.
You ever hear of 'em? But, then again, I do keep my money under the mattress.
And it's probably safer that way.
I am going to stop talking about me, 'cause I'm sorry I don't even know your name.
Cora.
Farrell.
Well, it's nice to meet you, Cora Farrell.
Well, it's getting late.
I have to leave.
But If you ever want a French lesson.
Sir, excuse me.
I was wondering There you are! Come on in.
Welcome, Mrs.
Martin.
I invite you to pick anything from Douglas Hannant's fall collection, and we will tailor it to fit you.
- What is this, Gemma? - Isn't it fabulous? Andrew planned the whole thing as a thank you for the party.
Really? Is it that hard to believe you have an amazing husband? Thanks for coming last night.
Well, I hope Gemma's outburst didn't ruin it for you.
Hardly.
We landed six new investors.
Good for you.
Little early for that, isn't it? You saw my wife.
It's justified.
So, since you're here in an official capacity, let's get official.
How can I help you? I wanna pull my investment.
What? Why? - We returned almost 20 % last month.
- My editors are giving me a hard time, and I think I might wanna publish the book myself.
Self-publishing's hardly wide-reaching.
There have to be other editors who are interested.
Maybe, but that could take about a year.
I don't wanna keep waiting.
You'd be walking away from a lot of money.
The market's turning around.
I'd hate for you to miss out.
Yeah, well, I've been missing out on a lot, lately.
Sorry, Andrew, my mind's made up.
It's stunning.
Champagne, Mrs.
Martin? After last night, alcohol makes you want to gag.
So, is there something that sings to you? - They're all so beautiful.
- Don't limit yourself to just one.
- Thank you for this, Gemma.
- Don't thank me.
Thank your husband.
I'm just along for the ride.
Can you believe he's taking you to Swan Lake? - He doesn't like the ballet.
- He hates it.
That's what makes it so great.
It's all about you.
- Why do you think he's doing all this? - Who cares why? You gotta stop being suspicious, Shiv, and just enjoy.
I guess I'm just trying to figure out what his intentions are.
The man is dressing you in a custom-fitted gown for the ballet, and you're questioning his intentions? You always do this.
I do? You never think what Andrew does is good enough.
He used to make you so happy.
Then the two of you started snapping at each other and arguing a lot.
Take it from someone who has a husband to complain about Andrew is a good man.
Are you kidding me? I've got Balthazar on speed dial.
I can always get us in.
I'm flagging this cab.
My heels are killing me.
Taxi.
Have you had the macaroni au gratin? It's to die for.
- You coming? - You go ahead.
I'll catch up.
- You sure? - I have to take this.
Who is this? You dropped your scarf.
Who is this? What do you want? You have something of mine.
I'm not gonna hurt you, Siobhan.
Simply follow my instructions and this will all end.
Why the hell should I listen to you? You don't have a choice.
You killed our mutual friend in your loft.
So unless you want me to tell Do you see that bench to your right, next to the playground? I want you to hang up, and put the phone down on the bench, then just walk away.
Operator.
How may I assist you? Hi.
Yeah.
I was wondering.
Is it possible to trace the last phone call made to this phone? Let me see.
That number's blocked, ma'am.
It's an emergency.
Would you like me to dial 911? No.
That won't be necessary.
You've reached Pr.
Malcolm Ward.
Please leave a message at the tone.
What the hell happened to you? You never showed up for lunch.
Gemma, I'm so sorry.
Everything okay? Yeah, it's fine.
It was my doctor calling.
I forgot about my first trimester tests.
I remember those.
Don't worry, the baby's gonna be perfect.
So Gregor got us tickets to Fashion Week.
Can you believe it? That's great.
Did you hear me? It's going to be you, me, and Anna Wintour in the front row.
I'm sorry, I'm just a little distracted.
Do you know a Pierce, Zimmerman & McDonald? Isn't that Aubrey Zimmerman's firm? Aubrey Zimmerman.
The big-time divorce lawyer? What made you think of them? I was Just reading some trashy magazine.
I guess some celebrity's getting divorced.
Maybe I'm the one who should be hiring Aubrey Zimmerman.
Henry Butler wants to pull out of the hedge fund? Apparently, he needs the money to self-publish his novel.
Then put online for a hundred bucks.
Don't throw your wife's hard, earned money down the toilet.
I agree.
Well, then, how come you didn't talk him out of it? Because he's a friend.
If he wants to pull out, I'm not gonna stand in his way.
Then I'll be happy to.
Come on, they have maybe I don't care about Henry's money.
But I do care about Gemma's father.
This is about Tim Arbogast? He's been with Faerber Funds for about 20 years now.
And we'll never have a chance at his millions if we lose the Butlers.
I'm not going after Arbogast.
I tried that once before, and it was disaster.
Let it go.
Do I need to remind you what's at stake? Drop it.
I'm not looking to make enemies.
Let the Butlers cash out.
Fine.
I'll take care of it.
Siobhan, you walked right past me in the lobby.
Sorry My head's just somewhere else today.
- How's the family? - Great.
Back-to-school time.
Wally's rowing crew, and Becca's going into the eighth grade.
You know all about that with Juliet.
Of course.
And Jack's still pounding the pavement for Deltrana & Abberkent.
What about you guys? I thought I'd see you and Andrew at Gatsby on the green.
You never miss it.
We've just been so busy lately.
This is me.
Say hi to Jack and the kids for me.
We should have lunch.
Really? Okay.
I'd love that.
I didn't think I'd be seeing you again.
So, were you able to find the answers you were looking for? You were pretty upset the last time you were here.
I hope I didn't say anything that I might regret.
The way I remember it, you were adamant about altering the prenuptial agreement, but I never received any changes, so I figured I hoped that you and Andrew had worked things out.
Though, if you did, you probably wouldn't be here, would you? Did I mention how bad the fighting had gotten? You did.
Has it gotten physical? Did I give you the impression that it had? Call it intuition or years of experience, but, I got the feeling that you were scared of your husband.
Really? Scared? - Your life seems perfect.
- Close to it, but no one's life is perfect.
I don't mean to make you uncomfortable.
My only point is that if there's been abuse, your divorce case will be drastically different.
We can certainly revisit this subject when you feel more comfortable.
My office managed to track down the quitclaim deed you signed for 227 Pratt Street.
He may be tried to hide the value of this particular investment.
I'm sorry, could you remind me about that property again? It's a building that Andrew's company acquired.
This is only a xeroxed copy, but from the looks of it the date might have been changed.
Which means? To be blunt, your husband's trying to cheat you.
Now if you can find the original deed, and if the date is different, you'd have a real opportunity to claim 50% of that property.
Do you want to tell me why you went to see a divorce attorney? Is this where we're going? I don't know what you mean.
Peggy Lewis told Jack she saw you at Pierce, Zimmerman & McDonald.
I just had a question I wanted an answer to.
Questions about what? I've told you the place is worthless.
If you don't believe me, you can go see for yourself.
Why can't you trust me, hmm? You used to tell me I was the only man in your life you could trust, and now you're sneaking behind my back going to see divorce attorneys? I was a fool to think things were getting better between us.
Andrew, I'm sorry.
- I was trying to do something nice.
- You did.
The dress was an amazing gesture.
But it's never enough, is it, Shiv? You know, I've done everything you've asked me to do.
Stopped playing games, and you You can't even meet me halfway.
I'm gonna go back to the office.
And by the way, you can take Gemma to the ballet tonight.
The two of you can talk about how much you hate your husbands.
Hey, it's me.
My bag's packed.
I have the money.
I'm all set to go.
Where's Bridget all set to go? I don't know.
I didn't know what she meant, - I swear.
- You're lying.
Where is she? Why don't you just let her go.
She didn't testify.
She's the reason you're free.
She's not a problem as long as she doesn't come back.
Exactly.
I don't like loose ends.
I told you, I don't know where she is.
You know, Mr.
Ward, I've never been a drug addict.
What's this little chip represent, five, six years of sobriety? What's it like to have something you can't live without? Martin/Charles, how may I help you? - Gemma? What are you doing here? - I got a call to come sign some papers for a third quater reinvestement or something I don't understand.
A sweep authorization? That's strange.
We could have just had them messengered.
Penny, would you come in here for a moment please? Yes, Ms.
Charles? Did you have Mrs.
Butler come in here just to sign some papers? - Yes, I thought - I don't pay you to think, Penny.
You've wasted Mrs.
Butler's time.
Please accept my apology, Mrs.
Butler.
Don't worry about it.
Forced me to take a break for work.
You know, actually since you're here, there is something I wanted to ask.
Have you and Henry been unhappy with Martin/Charles? No, just the opposite.
Then why pulling your investment? We're not pulling our investment.
Henry didn't mention it? He was just in here this morning.
Maybe I'm confused.
Although it's not protocol for us to proceed without your signature, - you are cosigner - I'll have to talk to him about it.
I'm sure there's some simple explanation.
And tell me, how is your lovely father doing? Andrew was telling the truth.
Maybe this place is worthless.
Hello? Someone here? Got it.
I want the phone.
Who sent you here? Just give it to me and I'll let you go.
Not until you tell me what's going on.
- Who are you working for? - Come on, Siobhan.
You don't want two dead bodies.
I took care of the first.
Give me the damn phone! - Prentiss Park.
- You got it.
Agent Machado, please.
I was surprised to get your call.
How's the search for my sister going? We're getting closer every day.
We don't have to do this here.
I've got a perfectly boring office just a few blocks away.
I mean, I can't serve you anything fancy, but, I can brew you a cup of really bad coffee.
Here's fine.
You called me, remember? I wanted an update on the investigation.
See if you had any leads on Bridget.
And yesterday you were so eager to get rid of me.
I don't know much about Bridget.
I was hoping your help with that.
Looks like I got my hopes up, okay.
How about I tell you what I know about you, Mrs.
Martin.
I know that yesterday you withdrew $50,000 from a bank over on 76th Street.
I know that you missed a dance class and a Historical Society meeting.
Bothin conflict with the party, but you never canceled or even mentioned you wouldn't attend, which you always do.
So I needed money and missed a few appointments.
I know that for the last six months you spent every Thursday afternoon in a suite at the Dandridge Hotel with Henry Butler.
The question is, does Andrew know you've been sleeping with him? I don't know what you're getting at, but I don't like threats.
It's not a threat.
It's just a question.
I'm not your enemy.
I just want to know where Bridget is.
I can help her.
And I can help you.
You already have.
Why are you talking to the FBI? I want you to know that if anything happens to me, or if your friend's body is ever found, that FBI agent back there gets this phone, which leads to you.
You have no idea what you're doing or who you're messing with.
Clearly someone who's as desperate as I am to keep a secret.
Looks like I just bought myself some insurance.
This is the first I'm hearing of it.
I had no idea Gemma refused the withdrawal.
Why was she even involved? Because her name's on the portfolio, it's protocol.
A large withdrawal requires a co-sign.
You know Gemma.
She's held the strings our marriage, I thought coming to you might allow me to make a decision without her permission.
I can't know what you will or won't discuss with your wife.
Right.
You're aware Gemma thinks I'm having an affair, but somehow you don't think that will complicate things? I'm sorry, Henry.
Me, too, Andrew.
That didn't look too pleasant.
You could have made that withdrawal without Gemma's signature.
Is that what you wanted me to do hide the truth from his wife? Cut the crap, it's not about Gemma, you said so yourself.
I told you to leave it alone.
Why can't you listen for once? I was just trying to protect us.
And I don't need to be lied to.
We are partners, remember? Next time, just let me know what you're doing first so I can at least prepare for the fallout.
Can't I change your mind? I know how much you love Swan Lake.
I don't think so.
I'm just glad the tickets aren't going to waste.
Is Henry going with you? No, he's at a café "working.
" I'm sure I'm the last person he wants to see right now.
I'm taking Isabel.
She said she'd buy me dinner at Picholine after.
- Why do you have this? - What do you mean? It's on Andrew's shelf.
It was also on about 500 refrigerators on the Upper East Side.
It was your holiday card.
I just meant why do you still have it? I don't know.
Sentimental.
Are you okay, Shiv? A lot better now, actually.
- You have to go.
- Wait, Cora, did I do something wrong? No, here, I'll call you.
I will.
What are you doing here? Doesn't the ballet start in ten minutes? I'm not going.
Why? I wanted to explain to you about the attorney.
I went to see him a while ago When things between us were tense.
That's putting it lightly.
I know.
Which is why I was weighing my options.
And then things seemed to get better between us.
So I went today to call it off.
Why should I believe you? I'll be honest.
I thought some really awful things about you.
But it was entirely based on fear.
And I realized if we're gonna move forward, then, I have to stop listening to other people and trust you.
Do you think you can forgive me? And what you did for me today, it wasn't that it wasn't good enough.
It was the nicest thing that anyone's ever done for me.
You look beautiful.
Don't do this, please! Stay still, junkie! Enjoy your trip.
This view is really stunning.
You say that like you've never seen it before.
I guess I'm just trying to look at things with a new appreciation.
Okay then.
Okay then what? If I'm asking you to trust me, then, I have to trust you.
I hope from this point on, we can be honest with each other.
I want that, too.
What we used to have together was pretty amazing.
And if there was any chance of getting that back.
Anybody there?
